✨ Nothing to Declare ✨ Erline is a Tokyo-based multidisciplinary artist working across ceramics, paintings, and installation. Her practice centers on hand-built ceramic bags and other whimsical yet weighty objects that merge craft with cultural critique. Drawing from the languages of fashion, consumer culture, and everyday ritual, she explores femininity as both performance and survival strategy. Erline’s works often blur the line between ornament and burden, playfulness and pressure asking what we choose to carry, and how it shapes our presence in the world. Inspired by the current fascination with girls and their trinkets, she examines how small charms, chains, and accessories operate as both intimate self-expression and collective ritual. —————— GALLERY 05/05/2026 20/06/2026 Installation views by David Bonet #contemporanyart #ceramic #artexhibition

Things. Such a small word for everything we carry. Pearls and chains, softness and weight, the quiet cost of wanting, the strength of appearing fine. Maybe being a girl means learning to live among our things. Charms, trinkets, small comforts that soothe the hollow places. They shine, they comfort, they weigh us down. This longing tenderness that’s quite exhausting at times, but maybe it’s what keeps us feeling alive. (and broke, but alive.) 💸✨ ✨ Now exhibiting in ‘Things’, a pop up group show in Sydney, Australia 🌙 @postmodartclub On view until October 19th at @maidocoffee

オープニングに来てくださった皆さま、本当にありがとうございました🥹💕 展示は8月3日まで、Midoriso Ikejiriで開催中です✨ Thank you so much to everyone who came by the opening 🥹💕 the show runs at Midoriso Ikejiri until August 3rd ✨ I sculpt cute things that feel heavy. Because girlhood is full of rules no one explains. I grew up loving magical girls. Their sparkles, their kindness, their strength that’s wrapped in goodness. Maybe that’s what being a girl still feels like: stay soft, stay strong, stay small but visible. A performance, a ritual, a burden dressed in pink and laces. I made these bags to hold those contradictions. Sweetness, pressure, and the need to hold it all together. Maybe i’m just romanticizing it all. 「可愛くて、でもどこか重たいもの」を作っています。女の子でいるって、誰も教えてくれないルールがたくさんあるから。 小さい頃から魔法少女が大好きでした。 キラキラした変身、やさしさ、善良さに包まれた強さ。きっと今もそう。。やわらかくて、強くて、控えめだけど見られていたい。 それはパフォーマンスであり、儀式であり、 ピンクとレースに包まれたささやかな重荷なのかもしれません。 このバッグたちは、そんな矛盾を抱きしめるためのかたち。 甘さとプレッシャー、 「ちゃんとしなきゃ」を全部詰めこんだもの。 もしかしたら、ただのロマンチックな思い込みかもしれないけど。

do we choose the magical girl life, or does it choose us? performing softness, practicing strength? is this empowerment or just another uniform? asking for a friend. come hang out at MIDORI.so Ikejiri for Ambiguously In Between group show 💕🫶🏻 Opening reception July 25th 18-21pm 遊びに来てねー🥰 展示概要 日程 : 2025年7月25(金) ～8月3日(日) 時間 : 11:00-19:00 オープニングレセプション: 7月25日(金) 18:00 ~21:00 会場：MIDORI.so Ikejiri Gallery 住所：〒154-0001 東京都世田谷区池尻2-4-5 HOME / WORK VILLAGE 2F 206 入場無料 @midoris0 @midori.so_gallery

もうすぐグループ展で作品展示します🧚🏻💕 I will be a part of a group show 🫶🏻 Thank you Kai for including me 🥰🤗🥹 @karellamara @midoris0 ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ In Co-Curation with MELLOW TALK,「Ambiguously In Between」は、HOME/WORK VILLAGEおよび MIDORI.so Ikejiriギャラリーの正式オープンを記念する展覧会となります。本展では、クラフトとアート、機能と表現、オブジェクトと装飾のあいだをやわらかく揺れ動く作品が集います。 かつて中学校の校舎だった HOME/WORK VILLAGE は、創造性とコミュニティが育まれるコラボレーションの場へと生まれ変わりました。展示される作品と同様に、この空間は実験や変化、発見が起こる「ひらかれた場」として存在しています。 展覧会はその精神を映し出すものです──遊び心と内省を備えた展示は、中学時代の「最良のかたち」を思わせます。すなわち、好奇心、挑戦、そして成長の時間。伝統的な技法と実験的な素材を用いた作品群は、私たちがどのようにモノや空間と関係を築いているのか、改めて問いかけてきます。 In Co-Curation with MELLOW TALK, “Ambiguously In Between” will mark the official opening of MIDORI.so Ikejiri Gallery in HOME/WORK VILLAGE. The exhibit gathers works that gently sway between craft and art, function and expression, object and ornament. Once a vocational junior high school for craft-making, HOMEWORK/Village is now a collaborative space where creativity and community thrive. Like the works it hosts, the site embraces openness—a setting for experimentation, transformation, and discovery. The exhibition reflects this spirit: playful and reflective, much like the junior high years at their best—a time of curiosity, risk-taking, and growth. Through traditional and experimental practices, the works invite us to rethink how we perceive and relate to the objects and spaces around us.

My heart is so full 🥹 Forever grateful for the friends and family who showed up to support the show 🥺✨ And to the amazing collectors who gave these bags a new home—thank you from the bottom of my heart! 💕

Excited for my lil NYC debut 🍎💫 with @longstoryshort.nyc ✨ “In Bagged Desires, Erline examines the contemporary phenomenon of customized handbags—objects that function not just as fashion statements but as extensions of the self. Inspired by the Gen Z trend of embellishing bags with charms and trinkets, the sculptures on view reflect both the intimate nature of personal style and the broader cultural impulse toward visibility and recognition. Each bag—whether draped in charms or presented in its raw sculptural form—poses a question: Do we seek these accessories for their adorned beauty, or for the status they confer? Are they expressions of individual taste or symbols of collective desire? The works invite viewers to reconsider the nature of ownership, the allure of consumer trends, and the ways in which objects define and display identity. As visitors peer through the gallery’s window-front installation, they are prompted to reflect on the transactional nature of fashion. Does the bag showcase its owner, or does the owner showcase the bag? Bagged Desires offers an invitation to examine the deeper motivations behind our aesthetic choices—challenging the line between self-curation and public spectacle.” Thank you @willnyc for giving me the opportunity to display my creations 🥰
