BIO

 

Luna Ikuta is a cross-disciplinary artist and designer creating large-scale installations and contemplative environments. Grounded in three core principles of beauty, humanity, and symbolism, her practice explores how material can give form to memory, transformation, and our relationship with the living world.

Originally trained in industrial design, Ikuta brings an intuitive understanding of materials alongside a sensitivity to texture, light, and form that shapes the atmospheric experience of her work. Working across installation, film, sculpture, fragrance, and material research, she develops experimental processes that transform unconventional materials including transparent plant tissue, olfactory molecules, water, and time into immersive experiences. Scientific inquiry serves not as the subject of her work, but as a means of exploring philosophical questions through physical form.

Since establishing her studio in 2018, Ikuta has exhibited internationally in galleries and museums, installed permanent public works, conceived spatial design projects, and collaborated with select brand partners. Across each medium, her work seeks to cultivate moments of wonder that invite viewers to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the beauty and fragility of existence.
