Kazuaki Tanahashi’s “Mind/Heart” is a striking abstract piece that utilizes a single, bold black stroke across the canvas. The line begins at the left and flows across the white background in a gesture reminiscent of calligraphy. The simplicity of the brushstrokes, along with the artist's signature, create a sense of contemplation and meditative stillness. The work evokes a sense of Zen philosophy and the importance of mindfulness.
