Exhibition statement

Hatanaka’s polysemous works trace disruptions and tell stories of what persists, what feeds the heart and soul. Human bodies and waterways, stories and materiality, terrestrial movements, and migrations—the artist maps the interconnections that characterize selfhood: her own, in particular. Each of her works embodies, to a certain extent, a layer of herself, a stratum of her history.
