Water Drop

Mineo Mizuno

2011

Water Drop offers a contemplation of Mizuno's personal history. In the center of this large ceramic piece, the artist used his hands to gouge out a depression, leaving traces of the shapes of his fingers. The Japanese character repeated across the surface of the work means "zero," "null,» "void," or "nothingness," but also refers to the name of the fighter planes used by the Japanese in World War II. Mizuno's father died in the war, before the artist was born, and this series addresses his sense of loss.
