野村仁衣那，1993年生於日本東京，作為年輕藝術家的她曾修讀文學，並於桑澤設計研究所學習空間設計。2021年開始以藝術家身份進行創作，獲得日本設計展SICF22中獲得評審獎（MIKIKO賞）、後浪賞《原創藝術實驗獎》。2022年頻繁創作參與展覽，在日本最大型藝術展會「DESIGNART TOKYO」中，獲選為最受矚目的5位「UNDER 30」年輕創作者之一。

 

使用既有產品、家具進行藝術創作，認為塑料品的原料既然來自於石油、而石油又來自於動物的屍骸經過地殼變動與數萬年的時間累積而成，生命在這些歲月更迭中，或許也以不同的形式進入現今人類的生活裡。 . 於是她像是要喚醒隱藏在這些塑料品中的細胞一般，利用焊錫槍，以手工的方式一個一個在物體上開出孔洞，像是細胞開始活化一般頓時有了靈性。

 

日文裡有「命を吹き込む」（注入生命）的說法，動詞直翻的話是「吹入」的意思，她像是吹氣泡的魔法師，為這些無機物吹入了生命的氣息。那些難以計數的孔洞是時間的具現化，讓人聯想李禹煥對時間的詮釋、名和晃平對生命的體悟，以及草間彌生將所有生命全心全意投入藝術的執著。​

Nina Nomura (b. 1993, Tokyo, Japan) is a young artist whose academic background includes literature and spatial design at Senzawa Design Institute. She began her artistic practice in 2021, quickly gaining recognition with awards such as the MIKIKO Prize at SICF22 and the Horanami Original Art Experiment Award. In 2022, she was selected as one of the five most prominent “UNDER 30” creators at DESIGNART TOKYO, Japan’s largest art fair, marking her emergence as a rising talent in contemporary art.

​

Nomura works primarily with found objects, everyday products, and furniture, exploring the hidden lifecycles within inanimate materials. She considers that plastic originates from petroleum, which itself is formed over tens of thousands of years from the remains of living organisms—thus, in a sense, life continues to permeate contemporary human existence in different forms. To awaken this latent vitality, she meticulously pierces objects by hand using a soldering gun, creating countless small perforations that give the surfaces a sense of animated cellular life.

​

In Japanese, there is the phrase “命を吹き込む” (inochi o fukikomu)—“to breathe life into”—which Nomura embodies in her practice. Like a magician blowing bubbles, she imbues inorganic matter with a subtle sense of presence. The innumerable holes in her works become a tangible manifestation of time, evoking the temporal explorations of Lee Ufan, the reflections on life of Akira Nagae, and Yayoi Kusama’s obsessive devotion to channeling all life into art.
