The soft and warm candlelight setting the carved sculpture aglow amidst the dimly lit room at the hour of dusk did so with a sense of eternity—as if the candle was always aflame. The seagull glided through the darkening air with sudden grace and calm. The trajectory of the bird was carved through the evening sky with timeless motion and orderly ease. The same whiteness as the seagull displayed could be found in the snow layering the rooftops of brick-layed buildings which were now infused with the cool grey of the waning day. The continuous smoke from the chimney curled upward into the great vastness. The mind now turned to the incessant twitching of the clock, the endless rotary loop of the second hand thrusting forward in abrupt divisions of a circle. The geometric movement of the mechanical gadget—a symbol of Thought—silently reported the echoes of presence. Moving forward in time yet remaining within the vast emptiness of space. ~Mike Sasaki 2020 This piece is made from the other half of the wood block I used for Permeable Existence No.2. It's yellow cedar, left with its natural dry-polished surface. The lightness in colour and subtlety of the grain patterning lend themselves suitably to the smooth and refined form and its emptiness.

Mike Sasaki was born in Toronto, Canada. He graduated from the Bachelor of Design Honours program at York University / Sheridan College in 2005. He lived in Tokyo, Japan for 5 years where he was immersed in traditional and modern Japanese culture. The martial arts philosophies have played an important role in his artistic development.
