Miki creates the semi-abstract, sculptural forms utilizing brilliant colors and sets them into a magical environment suggesting another reality. The installation moves from the three-dimensional forms to abstract images on the floor and walls, conveying a sense of expanding boundaries.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The show will be open until April 28, 2019.
