In her installation and sculpture, Mohri works not to compose (or construct) but to call attention to “phenomena” that constantly shift according to various conditions such as the environment. In addition to solo exhibitions at Camden Arts Centre (London) and Towada Art Center (Aomori), she has participated in numerous international group exhibitions including the Biennale of Sydney and the São Paulo Biennale.

In 2021, she won the Akatsuki Art Award at Artists’ Fair Kyoto 2021.
