Cherry trees frame narrow streets where generations-old cafés sit beside sleek boutiques and ateliers. For a few fleeting weeks each spring, the Meguro river glows under a canopy of ethereal pink. Petals drift onto the water, lanterns flicker at dusk, and the city slows.
Goto Madoka
Goto Madoka’s work distills fleeting moments into compositions that transcend realism. She explores the emotions and impressions these moments evoke, expressing them through colours, patterns, and shapes. The process itself is what drives her, a quiet but persistent pursuit of translating the intangible into something seen and felt.
“I was drawn to the quiet way it carries time.”
"I was drawn to the quiet way the Meguro carries time—the flow of water, the fleeting bloom of cherry blossoms, the shifting light through the trees. I didn’t want to capture a single moment, but the impression it left behind."
