Glimmers Beneath Carapace Facade
Emulsion on Treated Wood
2024
Glimmers Beneath Carapace Façade embodies Nakamura’s exploration of architectural forms and their implications for identity. The piece, constructed with treated wood and emulsion, features overlapping, curved panels that evoke a sense of hidden layers and protected interiors. This work prompts viewers to consider what lies beneath external structures, symbolising the dual nature of façades as both shields and barriers. Through this sculpture, Nakamura invites reflection on how urban spaces conceal and reveal aspects of personal and communal identity, aligning with his ongoing investigation of spatial interaction and its psychological impacts.
In conjunction with LASALLE College of the Arts' 40th anniversary, Many Worlds at A Glance, Many Worlds All at Once, this exhibition is an immersive convergence of perspectives, encouraging audiences to embrace new viewpoints and connect with the world around them.
