Luna Ikuta is a Japanese-American artist and designer working across installation, film, sculpture, and fragrance. Known for Afterlife, an underwater garden of transparent plants, her practice explores how perception shapes the way we understand the world.

Having studied industrial design, her practice focuses on material science, fabrication techniques, and philosophy. Ikuta works with decellularized plant tissue, glass, digital media, underwater environments, and olfactory molecules to create contemplative experiences that exist between the spiritual and scientific.

Since founding her studio in 2018, Ikuta has exhibited internationally, realized permanent public artworks, conceived spatial environments, and collaborated with select cultural and commercial partners. Across every medium, her work invites viewers to consider how meaning, value, and beauty emerge as reflections of perception.
