ATLA is pleased to present Ghost-like Hover, the US debut solo exhibition of Kyoto-based painter Yuka Mori (b. 1991). Ghost-like Hover is a tactile investigation into the corporeality of plants—as living bodies, not merely botanical forms. Mori, a former dancer trained in Nihonga-style painting, which translates to “pictures in a Japanese style,” creates surreal depictions of flowers that drift fluidly in and out of bodily forms. In her work, the plant emerges as both the most idealized figure and a conduit to a less confined world.
