Adventures of the Eyes-

*“Aiba’s eyes circle around, and sometimes intentionally wander between buildings in the space. His eyes are like those of a bird or like those of wind.
Aiba’s works make use of an aerial perspective, which like the diagram for a maze shows the whole from above (the macro view) while including minute details (the micro view). If you explore any small part of Aiba’s works, you find amazing stories and some unique characters.”

– Kazuko Todate, art critic
