Rikuto, a 6-year-old artist, loves drawing cars. Whenever he picks up his pen, his face lights up with a smile. He must be imagining his favorite cars joyfully cruising through city streets. This sense of excitement and imagination is important for adults too. Dreaming about what could be and envisioning how things might be done differently is the first step towards making those dreams a reality. Rikuto's artwork reminds us of the thrilling imagination that adults often forget.

The 38th ITbM Gallery presents an exhibition titled Dream Ride by Rikuto Fujiwara. This exhibition features Rikuto's imaginative car drawings blended with photographs of the city of San Diego, California. We invite you to experience the joy and creativity at the "Dream Ride" exhibition. Let Rikuto’s vibrant car illustrations inspire you to dream big and embrace the excitement of imagination.
