In front of the mirror, I work with the wooden mannequin on which I directly sculpt the dress form by the fabric. The dress has 360 degrees awareness.
Ando’s work is based on a simple proposition : ” Each person has a body.
The body expresses a person’s story and history, the dress is a language the expresses that body , the human body and the dress are both founded on the same principle: constant, unbroken perception “

Truth
The seeds of truth remain in the soil as the flowers wither. The moonlight leaves silver waves on the surface of the river. After the flower is over, however, the seed sleeps in the soil. The moonlight sends silver waves to protect the truth in the seed. The time will come when new flowers will bloom.

The New Alchemy
New alchemy is transformation by fire and water.
( Fukuko Ando )
Fire burns with the soul of water.
Water moves with the heat of fire.
There is new alchemy as light and shadow constantly cross and fuse.
