Artist Shiori Saito creates pieces where she draws on pieces of clothes that are essentially shells that store memories and emotions of people that wore them. Audiences will be able to see firsthand how she creates her pieces through a live painting performance during Roppongi Art Night. An interactive workshop where audiences can add color to the pieces will also be held.
