Kazuki Takizawa, Los Angeles-based Japanese artist living with bipolar disorder, developed “Breaking the Silence III” to bring awareness to the topic of suicide prevention. Takizawa’s glass installation consists of an approximately 8-foot-long table constructed out of blown and pressed glass components. The installation also includes a water feature that continuously drips water evenly across the surface of the glass table, filling and overflowing from the glass vessels for the duration of the exhibit. The artist intended to include this element of sound to be the focal point of the piece, literally breaking the silence around this topic of suicide prevention in hopes to reduce the stigma that is often associated with it.
