Details regarding the exhibition and merchandise sales will be announced at a later date via StoriAA's official social media accounts.

Yuka Numata
Born in Chiba Prefecture in 1992. Studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna from 2019 to 2020 and completed her graduate studies at Tokyo University of the Arts in 2022.
As a digital native born into a generation where the internet is part of everyday life, Numata incorporates the characteristics of contemporary times and generational identity into her work. She uses fused beads, a children’s craft material, to construct images bead by bead. This meticulous analog process, combined with the deliberate distortion of digital imagery, creates a unique mode of expression that exists in neither two nor three dimensions—a new visual dimension entirely.
ZECIN
Animation artist, illustrator, and VJ.
ZECIN works across various media, focusing on animation as their core mode of expression. They began producing animation in 2020 with the music video “DAMAGED PROJECT pt.2” for Meta Flower. Since then, they have created animated music videos for artists such as JUMADIBA, (sic)boy, and She Her Her Hers.
As a VJ, they began performing in 2020 and were responsible for the live visual direction for YOASOBI’s concerts in April and August 2023.

Think.
Think. has been creating artworks since childhood. After studying graphic design in a specialized high school program, they majored in sculpture at university.

A recurring character in their work, DEAD BROWN, resides in “sicktown” and represents both a multitude of identities and a projection of the artist themself.
