MFA student Kat Kazlauskas represented the department at Tokyo Midtown for their Street Museum and HML Festival this year. Her sculptures are made with oyster spacers found on Oʻahu beaches that drifted from Japan. While in Tokyo, Kazlauskas created a life-size koinobori inspired by Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake out of the shipping materials used to transport her work from Honolulu to Tokyo.
