Taking a new approach on two-dimensional elements, Kubota's works, based on stereochemistry, explore the relationship between an accumulation of fabrics and shapes. Images buried under the surface are intertwined with the reality right before our eyes. The feeling of being alive coupled with a strong sense of the individual radiates throughout the piece. Her works can be described as expanding upon a general idea with an original approach.
