WORKS

This series consists of installation works created as a result of on-site research conducted in coastal areas during the spring. At the research sites, sand and dust carried by the sea breeze covered the surfaces of dressers and household items remaining in disused living spaces, quietly accumulating traces of past lives. Mirrors left in the rooms, as if in response to the sound of the waves nearby, superimposed the current landscape with distant scenes from memory, reflecting multiple layers of time.

In this work, the artist uses fishing tools—fishing nets and lamps—borrowed from the Setouchi Sea Historical and Folk Museum, and projects images onto them, attempting to intersect the temporality inherent in folk materials with the fluid temporal expression of video media. By superimposing images of net making onto the fishing nets and juxtaposing light and images on the lamps, the artist has created a space that evokes the rhythms of labor and life of the past. In addition, the artist exhibits a total of six works, including new pieces that combine mirrors and grandfather clocks with images, and attempts to create a "visionary sea" where memory and the present intertwine through reflection, projection, and sound.
