Working through brushwork, abstraction, and figuration, Yamada uses repetition and humor to weave New York City — as both subject and catalyst — into a narrative that bridges American and Japanese influences. The works critique the normalization of capitalistic greed while tracing a deeply personal journey, each artistic influence ultimately revealed as a projection of the artist's own identity.
