Concept of "Ark of the Earth
This series attempted to create a bird's eye view of life.
We live by being connected.
Countless individuals are connected to form the next layer. The natural world is a repetition of this process.
It all starts with microparticles that are common to all things.
Then, cells, then individuals, then societies and ecosystems, and so on.
There, time flows without stopping.
Life is like a ship that sails on the sea of eternity, connected to others and to the world.
In this series, the motifs of cells → whales (individuals) → maps (society)
The series expresses an ark of life swimming along the time axis, using motifs of different levels of hierarchy in parallel.
It is said that Japanese people have infinite sympathy for nature.
The nature that surrounds us, the life that belongs to that nature, and the sense of impermanence that they all undergo as they continue to change without end.
This series is an attempt to express the feelings we have held toward nature and life since ancient times.
In order to express the time axis, I used materials from the history of the world beginning with the birth of mankind as a stratum, and included a piece of paper of contemporary events in the uppermost layer of cell groups. There is no frame, but a metal fitting and string are attached to the back of the work for hanging on the wall.
