PLOT, the brand storytelling and art space in Taipei's Da'an District, will welcome a tender narrative about memory, encounters, and youth this August 2026. Curated personally by legendary Japanese streetwear and art curator Yasumasa Yonehara, popular Japanese creator might will present her first overseas solo exhibition, "I'm here," officially on view at PLOT from August 22 to September 3.
This exhibition is being specially held at PLOT, founded by a close friend of Yasumasa Yonehara. Through might's depictions of young girls who have yet to lose their trust in the world, and emotional landscapes suspended between youth, solitude, and nostalgia, viewers are invited to revisit those fleeting moments in life that once crossed paths with theirs, yet remain forever preserved in memory.
Curator Yasumasa Yonehara: Depicting Youth and Trust Is Also an Important Form of Artistic Expression
Speaking about curating this exhibition, Yasumasa Yonehara said:
"I'm truly delighted to be able to hold might's first overseas solo exhibition, 'I'm here,' at PLOT in Taipei—the shop belonging to one of my most important friends.
While much of today's art world tends to focus on social criticism and the darker sides of human nature, I've always believed that depicting 'the dazzling brilliance of youth' and 'the pure feeling of trusting another person' is an equally important form of expression.
In might's work, there exists a group of young girls who have not yet lost their trust in the world. Their smiles capture the joy of encountering someone, and the preciousness of that single moment when two lives intersect.
The exhibition title 'I'm here' represents a declaration of presence in this moment, and also a statement about memory: 'The me who met you that day is still here, even now.' Even if the encounter was brief, that faint glow remains in the heart—it never disappears.
Whenever I encounter Taiwanese film and culture, I always sense a deep appreciation here for 'the warmth of memory.' I believe might's work will also quietly find its way into people's hearts. If this exhibition can bring those who visit PLOT back to their own personal 'that day,' there would be nothing that could make me happier."
An Artrator Bridging Illustration and Contemporary Art
Capturing the Ineffable Emotions of Youth Through Lyrical Brushwork
Self-described as an "Artrator," might is known for her soft color palettes, dynamic use of negative space, and delicate brushwork. Her characters and scenes often exude a distinctive atmosphere woven from youth, solitude, and nostalgia, transforming hard-to-articulate, ambiguous emotions into a visual language imbued with warmth.
Active on social media, might also maintains deep connections with music culture. She previously created visuals and directed the music video for popular Japanese singer Wanuka's hit single "Yoiyoi," using lyrical, dreamlike imagery that resonated with the song's world and drew widespread attention among younger audiences.
Moving freely between commercial illustration and fine art, might continues to expand the boundaries of her creative practice. Bringing her work overseas for the first time, and choosing to hold her solo exhibition in Taipei—a city she deeply loves—she shared her excitement, saying:
"I'm truly happy to be able to share my paintings with everyone. I hope this exhibition will be a chance to meet everyone in Taipei."
"I'm here" is more than just a declaration of existence—it's also a letter written to memory and to the people we encounter along the way. The exhibition invites every viewer to step into might's artistic world, and amid the smiles of young girls, the faint glow of youth, and delicate emotion, rediscover the self within them that has never truly disappeared.
