ADF (NPO Aoyama Design Forum) is pleased to present "HOLD THE UNIVERSE IN YOUR HEART - DOUDEMOYOI -", the 40th exhibition of the "ADF Art Gallery Project" by SAKI CHIARA, from April 3 to April 15, 2026, at GARDE Gallery in Omotesando, Tokyo.

Born to an Italian-Australian father and a Japanese mother and raised in Shonan, Japan, SAKI CHIARA creates works centered on the themes of the universe, beauty, love, and light. She believes that everyone exists within the universe, a place that affirms one’s own being. By whispering the guiding phrase “DOUDEMOYOI,” and surrendering to its infinite possibilities, she suggests that a flower unique to you will bloom and shine somewhere in the universe.
