The depth of life and presence, the mystery of so-called time, the precious quality of existence—the morning walk through the misty woods, the smell of the wilderness flora entangled in its chaotic order, the sweet breath of air filling the lungs and heart with purity and vigour. I stop and close my eyes, feeling the dampness all around me, the birds are singing their natural tunes and the darkness is a pathway inwards towards the infinitesimal point without a center. Eyes open, the light enters with all the splendid colours, in a richness deeper than any picture, the unceasing movement, the sparkling droplets of due sitting motionless on a leaf, all the sounds, the shadows and the rising sun—united within and without. The thunderous thought Rages in taking me aback, The cosmos crunches through time In massive relationships of Solid concentrations So much space between the parts, And so much energy to drive— The ultimate paradox is always here I breathe eternity with every breath And with its release, I fall back into weightless suspension And vast silence ~MS2020 The Opening of Space No.1 inspired by deeply abstract ruminations is carved from Port Orford Cedar. The soft contrast of the grain lines ranges in colour from light cream to rosey white. The inner bark preserved in a solitary patch decorates the front of the piece with its own intrinsic nature. Inspired by essential proportions and forms from nature, the piece contains movement in stillness, an inner glance at abounding space and deep presence.

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.
