Watermelon Candy (Tokyo)
This photographic work was created through a series of actions—collecting, drying, sorting, scattering, and photographing soil—at the location indicated in the title. I select distinctive spots along forest roads and mountain trails, then scatter the dried soil in a straight line across the path until it runs out.
Through the intersection of the universal timeline symbolized by the endlessly continuing path and the linear composition formed by the minute particles of soil on the surface, this work creates a space that marks the single point where the “enduring line” transitions into disappearance. There, the artificial continuity of the path and the finite nature of the soil overlap, visually manifesting the relationship between time and place.
