During Osaka Expo 2025, Ram Katzir’s public sculpture, Yumemitai, will stand as a symbol of harmony and inclusion. Installed at the entrance to VS. (Visionary Station)—a cultural hub designed by Tadao Ando—the work invites visitors to engage in a dialogue between tradition and innovation.
Curated by Toshio Shimizu for Grand Green Osaka, a landmark development in Umekita Park, Yumemitai draws inspiration from studies of Osaka residents, capturing their dreams and aspirations within an ever-evolving urban landscape.
As part of the cultural program of Common Ground—the Expo 2025 Dutch Pavilion—and in celebration of 425 years of Japan–Netherlands relations, Katzir will also participate in a panel discussion in Osaka on September 19, 2025, organized by The New Institute. This event will explore themes of cultural exchange and shared vision, reinforcing the message that, ultimately, we all share the same sky.
