Makoto Tojiki Light Sculptures
Japanese artist Makoto Tojiki is fascinated by light. He uses it in ways that create amazing illusions and out-of-this-world experiences in a subtle, inquisitive way.
“An object is seen when our eyes capture light that is reflected from the object. If we extract just the light that is reflected from ‘something,’ are we still in the presence of that ‘something?’ Using contours of light, I try to express this ‘something.’” says Makoto.

How To Tie A Scarf
Ancient Rome is one of the first origins of the scarf, where it was not used to keep warm, but to keep clean. It was used to wipe the sweat from the neck and face in hot weather. They were originally worn by men around their neck or tied to their belt. Soon women started using the scarfs, which were made of cloth and not made of wool, pashmina, or silk... Ever since the scarf has been fashionable among women. It became a real fashion accessory by the early 19th century by both women and men.
