His silhouettes honor imperfection as grace, turning restraint into emotional architecture.

Structural Focus

Reduction with Atmosphere

Form is reduced without becoming cold or purely rational. Minimal means are used to produce calm, resonance, or emotional density.

In Yohji Yamamoto’s work, this approach appears where asymmetry governs restraint.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Gesture functions as structure through disciplined, repeatable action.

Form is constructed around the body through material, proportion, and movement.
