Both landscape architect and sculptor Ð express his orver-riding desire to provide opportunities for self-reflection and contemplation in a 21st century urban lifestyle. Okashimo's art continually researches the potential for people to react to the juxtapositions of materials and context, and to interact with objects placed in a specifically choreographed location. In contrast to the benign and generic landscape design now seen throughout Asia, Okashimo's environmental art is slyly provocative, asking introspective and open-ended questions that might encourage a meditative response: a moment of 'calm'
