Theory of Relativity

In his early school days, Karol Tomoki Yamazaki was trying to show his classmates the importance of seeing things from multiple perspectives. Over time, his awareness of just how relative everything is influenced art projects and graphic design work he creates as an adult. Karol Tomoki attributes this sensitivity to his Japanese-Polish background, which instilled in him an appreciation for considering diverse points of view.

• The significance of names people use to call us  
• Missing Japan without realizing it

• Karol Tomoki’s “Kto Ty Jesteś” project
• The impact of appearances on how we are treated
• Relating to the Black Lives Matter movement
• Ants in the pants
