Born in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan in 1977. Wada received a doctorate in Sculpture from the doctoral program of the Graduate School of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts in 2008. Damaged fruit, a sign of vanitas, appears in his work as dying life itself, with physical substance. Brandy is damaged fruit reborn as the water of life. Static materials such as brass and glass are forced to change, corroded or distorted by the fruit and brandy. Through Wada's handling, which subtly trespasses on the domains of the organic and the inorganic, the correlations of life, death and rebirth, and of time, space and existence, are slowly unraveled.
