Bio Yumeo Nakayama is a Tokyo-based artist making outdoor art works. A common theme in her work is the "feeling that we are living on the Earth." The characteristics of the motifs and other features extracted from her design perspective are what make up her works. By installing her works outdoors, she aims to create a peaceful space in that location. She hopes viewers “feel as if they are actually confronting animals and the natural environment." Her inspirations for her artwork come from her own personal experiences and include a deep respect for flora and fauna.
