Nara ventures a compelling proposal for how, perhaps, a grown-up might learn from these children in tackling the onslaughts of a harsh contemporary world. His children, though isolated and left imprisoned within the confines of four edges, boast a self-assurance laced with a covert aggression, even. They command the space around them and fill the void with unexpected aplomb and dramatic tension. They are mischievous and unpredictable, their power lying squarely in their perceived innocence and spurious helplessness. Nara's compositions constitute a perpetual battle where a cursory glance is always challenged by closer inspection.
