+ A Look Back: Kawaii Mandala in Belgium
Last week, Kawaii Mandala illuminated 1,000 screens across Belgium, transforming urban landscapes with vibrant digital art. This project, curated by the talented Masako Shiba, was made possible through the incredible collaboration of Artcrush Gallery and Clear Channel Belgium. Being part of this initiative was a true honor, and I’m deeply grateful to everyone involved in bringing this vision to life!
As we close out the year, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunities to share my work across such inspiring platforms and places. I hope these works resonate with you and spark conversations about the stories we tell and the futures we imagine. Your support, whether by attending these events, sharing thoughts, or simply following along, means the world to me.
Here’s to a season of discovery and connection. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us next ♡
Warm regards,
Emi Kusano
