Profile
Yasuda gained a master’s degree at Tokyo University of the Arts in 2014 and has worked in many places including Japan, Australia, and Indonesia.
The artist has a strong interest in delving into her memory of childhood and traditional culture that is at risk of disappearance due to the influence of digitalization. Inspired by the people she met in places all over the world, she works on different types of media, including three-dimensional, video, and installation works.
Since a very young age, Yasuda has been familiar with kite making because of her mother, who was born in Nagasaki prefecture, a place renowned for its hata and baramon hata kites. Since 2019, she has been researching Indonesian kite culture and the natural environment of the Pacific islands while working to create her own as a sustainable artistic presentation. During her residency in Fukuoka, Yasuda plans to collaborate with I Kadek Dwi Armika, another kite artist from Bali, to explore the world of wind, light, and imagination while paying respect to the local traditions and customs.
