ARTIST'S STATEMENT
I am a glass artist, who also works with videography, photography, and textiles. I love combining my love for glass and videography to create immersive experiences for my viewers. When creating my work, I am drawn to visual optics and retro futurism with a mix of chaos and harmony. I am constantly thinking about time, memories and wanting to hold onto my memories through my art by taking photographs and videos and finding ways to incorporate these mediums with glass. I also enjoy creating glass forms based on ideas about the possibilities of the future.
I have been experiencing forgetfulness, which could be due to ADHD or pot dementia. Seeing what my grandmother went through with dementia makes me worry that I may go through it as well someday. So, I try to use my art as a way to explain what my memories look like to me. My medium is Glass, Photography and videography.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Leika Ikuma is an illustration major getting her BFA in Spring 2025. A manifestation of the artists memories and experiences in the Japanese countryside, she recreates an area that comprises of elements nostalgic to the Japanese experience. Inspired by Japanese and Korean artist pop-ups, Ikuma uses illustrations to fill the space with childlike wonder. This concept came from an interest in creating an installation for people to experience beyond what illustrations can do on a 2D surface, an immersive and interactive experience in a recreation of a Japanese street.
