The inseparability of all action and movement 
Strikes through the mind like a sword, 
Slicing it clean in halves.

The invisible tension binds the system,
The parts of which, visibly distinct,
Yet breathing the same air.

I look upon thee,
The light illumines thy form,
Billions of bits,
Flashing incessantly—
Infinite repetitions
Imply an infinite source of energy.

How could we be one?
How could the world be one?
How could it not?

~Mike Sasaki 2019

Carved in Western Red Cedar with wax, Inseparability of Action No.1 stands on 3 points of contact with the ground. The dynamic form plays out within the balanced structure. The grain moves with the form in a pulsating pattern instilling the contrapuntal movement with a vibrating core. The bronze-like waxed cedar reflects the warm light with an invitation towards its empty centre—the centre of nothing and everything.

I design forms for people to enjoy in a special space, for the forms to resonate intrigue and mystery so as to contribute to the interior environment in a deep and lasting way.
