Fumino Hora's exhibition at the Pittsburgh Glass Center is exotic yet accessible, spare yet brimming with objects, inspired by imperfection but perfect.

 

"The Way of Samsara" is an installation but comprises individual artworks that arise from aspects of Buddhism and from Ms. Hora's life experiences. As such it blends Japanese and global cultural constructs, self-portraiture and generically human concerns.
