I engage in my creation with the question: what is â??itâ?? that supports human being fundamentally? For instance, our body is supported by bones and muscles. They protect us from gravitation. On the other hand, what is our spirit supported by?
My goal is to investigate this question, and to give it shape to make it visible, tangible or realizable intensively. As a result, I believe this â??itâ?? will become essential for human being.
I found the idea this series "reflector" when I saw the majestic sky and sea at the cliff. I was so fascinated by the scenery and inspired â??if no wind should blow on the sea and the sea reflects all of the sky, what kind of scenery will come out of it?" I focus our mind in the moment that we are fascinated by the nature. It is that because I suppose there is a suggestion for my question.
