Infinite Set III

Infinite Set is a series of works depicting female forms floating in a space of nothingness. It is impossible to completely and precisely understand the body and mind—even our own. Enormous number of cells, knowing their roles, support life by continuously repeating birth and death, while our minds create rich and endless worlds of emotion and imagination. Nitta expresses existence as an unstable cluster drawn from an infinite set, or as something that goes beyond the boundaries of being a cluster. She also wishes to show the uncertainty of existence—the existence which is as obscure and unreliable as our recognition and memory.

Nitta was born in Nara, Japan and has studied at the University of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Corcoran College of Art + Design, and Tama Art University in Tokyo, Japan, where she received her B.F.A. She has had multiple shows in Japan including the Yuka Tsuruno Gallery, and the Tokyo International Airport where she showed Infinite Set I and II.
