Japanese artist Mariko Mori presents "Radiance," a new body of work at Sean Kelly Gallery in New York, exploring ancient Japanese cosmologies and spiritual traditions through ultra-contemporary materials. The exhibition features a shrine-like installation with hanging white silk, faceted dichroic sculptures such as *Oshito Stone III* and *Kamitate Stone I* (both 2025), and a series of "Unity" photo paintings that blend art, science, and spirituality. The show runs through December 20, 2025.
The exhibition matters because it demonstrates how contemporary artists can bridge ancient and futuristic perspectives, using cutting-edge materials to reinterpret historical and spiritual concepts. Mori's work invites viewers to reflect on interconnectedness across time and scale, offering a visceral, meditative experience that challenges conventional boundaries between past, present, and possible futures.
