Pronounced “Lee Thee.” Lethe was one of the five rivers of the afterlife in Classical Greek Mythology. It was said that passing between lives, human souls drank from her waters to erase their memories in preparation for their rebirth. Socrates said that souls had to have the wisdom to drink enough to forget, but not so much that they forgot everything, for philosophy is the remembering of what the soul always knew.

Wescover creator since 2019

Abstract sculpture for architecture, landscape, and public space.

Yoko is a Japanese–Czech American sculptor based in California and working in Pietrasanta, Italy. She creates abstract forms in marble and stone, with work in bronze and stainless steel, for architecture, gardens, private collections, and public space. Her sculptures use curves, openings, and movement to bring a sense of the natural world into built environments.

Yoko's Carrara marble sculpture Tides is permanently installed at the University of San Francisco. Her 2023 solo exhibition, Ovid’s Metamorphosis, presented eight sculptures throughout Filoli Historic House and Garden. She directs each project from drawing and model through fabrication, engineering, and placement, collaborating with specialist ateliers and fabricators as the scale requires. She welcomes inquiries for private and public commissions.
