Yuria Okamura
About Yuria
Yuria Okamura’s abstract drawing practice brings together and reinterprets various idealities from across cultures and histories. Through mapping, reconfiguring and connecting diverse geometric patterns and symbols that reference esoteric symbolism, occult diagrams, religious architecture and decoration, and the history of abstract painting, Yuria examines geometry’s universal qualities and utopian implications: ideals concerned with order, balance, and harmony. Using architecture and gardens as unifying visual metaphors and motifs, her work explores drawings’ potential to operate as open-ended contemplative spaces for reimagining utopian visions.
Yuria’s portrait for This Wild Song is currently a work in progress.
