Hello, I’m Reika.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am originally from Japan. When I moved to Forssa, Finland, the city was still home to one of Finland’s oldest textile factories founded in 1847. Living in an environment shaped by textile history sparked my interest in textiles as a material, a means of expression, and a carrier of meaning. I studied to become a textile artisan and later earned a Bachelor of Culture and Arts degree in textile design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Textiles are the material closest to human beings. They accompany us from cradle to grave, existing between our skin and the outside world. Textiles are connected to memories, emotions, cultural meanings, and history. They hold silent knowledge and stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In my work, I explore the relationship between human beings and the world around us. Textiles connect people, while at the same time carrying differences, identities, and layers of cultural history. Colours, patterns, and materials evoke memories and raise questions on both personal and communal levels. I see textiles as a language that creates spaces for collaboration and encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hei, Olen Reika<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Olen kotoisin Japanista. Kun muutin Suomeen Forssaan, kaupungissa toimi viel\u00e4 v. 1847 perustettu tekstiilitehdas. El\u00e4m\u00e4 tekstiilihistorian muovaamassa ymp\u00e4rist\u00f6ss\u00e4 her\u00e4tti kiinnostukseni tekstiiliin materiaalina, ilmaisun v\u00e4lineen\u00e4 ja sen merkityksen\u00e4. Opiskelin tekstiiliartesaaniksi ja my\u00f6hemmin muotoilijaksi.
Tekstiili on ihmiselle l\u00e4hin materiaali. Se kulkee mukana kehdosta hautaan, ihon ja ulkomaailman v\u00e4liss\u00e4. Tekstiiliin liittyy paljon muistoja, tunteita, kulttuurisia merkityksi\u00e4 ja historiaa. Siihen on tallentunut hiljaista tietoa, tarinoita.
Ty\u00f6skentelyss\u00e4ni pohdin ihmisen ja ymp\u00e4r\u00f6iv\u00e4n maailman v\u00e4list\u00e4 suhdetta. Tekstiili yhdist\u00e4\u00e4 ihmisi\u00e4, mutta kantaa samalla mukanaan my\u00f6s eroja, identiteettej\u00e4 ja kulttuurisia kerrostumia. V\u00e4rit, kuviot, ja materiaalit her\u00e4tt\u00e4v\u00e4t muistoja ja kysymyksi\u00e4 sek\u00e4 henkil\u00f6kohtaisella ett\u00e4 yhteis\u00f6llisell\u00e4 tasolla. N\u00e4en tekstiilin yhten\u00e4 kielen\u00e4, joka luo yhdess\u00e4 tekemisen ja kohtaamisen tiloja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
