In traditional painting, time is often metaphorically expressed through static images and spatial relationships. However, Yohei Yama's "Tree" series transcends this static concept of time, presenting it as a dynamic interplay between form and existence. The trees depicted on the canvas are not mere objects frozen in space; they exist in a perpetual state of regeneration. Their forms are vibrant with movement, swirling through intertwined lines, creating and showcasing the traces left by the passage of time.
This fusion of space and time represents a bold exploration of "temporality" in art, revealing the self-evolution and regeneration inherent in the creative process. Yohei Yama captures the infinite power of nature by reconstructing form, content, space, and time. By reflecting the trees’ endless journey of transformation into new forms, his work unveils life as a beautifully evolving tapestry, woven with the threads of time and change.

Through minimalist brushstrokes and symbolic language, his trees transform into symbols of endless creation and transformation. This is Yama’s invitation for viewers to embark on a poetic exploration of their existence. It encourages a deeper dialogue and connection between our internal posture and the place we occupy in the broader conversation between our essence and the nature of the world.
