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.

About
ITbM Gallery is situated within the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (WPI-ITbM) building. WPI-ITbM serves as a hub for forging a new interdisciplinary realm of research by fostering collaboration between state-of-the-art synthetic chemistry, animal/plant biology, and theoretical science. Its mission is to introduce "transformative bio-molecules" that not only revolutionize scientific practices but also impact our way of life.
Within the spectrum of events organized by WPI-ITbM around the theme of "Mix," ITbM Gallery stands out. This gallery is dedicated to showcasing the crossroads of science and art, emphasizing the beauty and creativity born from their fusion. Our aim is to stimulate scientists to explore unconventional ideas and foster innovative "Mix" concepts. Moreover, we strive to provide NU students, faculty members, and staff with an opportunity to reflect on the concept of "Mix" and its diverse interpretations.
