Kishio Suga's historical work titled "Standing" (1969) emerges as a captivating exploration of the Mono-ha concept, intricately interwoven with a playful and rhythmic sensibility. Crafted from an ingenious blend of glass, wood, and stones, this artwork exudes a distinctive aura that resonates with the core principles of Mono-ha. "Standing" stands as a testament to Suga's keen investigation into the dynamic interplay between materials and the environment. With an orchestra of glass, wood, and stones, Suga orchestrates a symphony of forms that interact and coexist in harmonious discord. Through this arrangement, he delves into the possibilities of physical relationships, embracing their inherent imperfections and intriguing failures.

Within this sculptural quality, Suga captures the essence of Mono-ha — a movement that reverberates with the idea of materials existing in their purest forms, unadorned and unaltered. Yet, amidst this earnest contemplation, there is a touch of whimsy that infuses the artwork with a sense of rhythm. The juxtaposition of elements echoes the rhythm of life itself, where coherence and discord coalesce to shape the larger narrative.

"Standing" beckons viewers to engage in a dance of perception, inviting them to navigate the intriguing juncture where materials and environment harmonize. It embodies the essence of Mono-ha's discourse on the essence of materiality while embracing the unexpected nuances of physics and their subtle deviations from the expected. In this way, Suga's artwork becomes a testament to the boundless imagination and profound inquiries that propel the artistic conversation, inviting us to ponder the delicate balance between intention and the whims of the physical world.
