Description Yumi Umiumare was inspired by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban's emergency cardboard tubing house and the notion that a house, usually an object of permanence, could be specifically designed to provide momentary comfort. Using everyday objects as metaphors of 'loss', while also collecting residential memories defined by a psycho-emotional space, Yumi takes on the notion of 'oriental' in the context of moving and living in 'foreign' spaces. She explores the cracks and spaces between disorientation / destruction and attraction / familiarities.
