Sayako's public artworks are primarily sculptural mosaics crafted using ancient methods she learned from mosaic master 
Luciana Natturi of Ravenna, Italy. The imagery of her mosaics is often common with the symbols that populate her paintings. The durability and scale of these works makes them suitable for large public and architectural projects.
