When Sarin (crab) died, my daughter cried and made the grave,
Blacky (male cat) had trusted me since a certain incident,
Grey (female cat) always hated me after I pulled the dead kitten out,
Jiji (male dog) died of severe canser, with my wife by his side.

In this exhibition, which keeps changing the area and spaces where the works are shown, the place I chose was a space that had long given me a feeling of darkness.
I brought artificial light into that place. It is the decorative light of a pachinko hall, the mercury light of a golf driving range. The grass and the rainwater are together stained red, and the trees are green, sucking the sunlight. The faces of three generations of women take on their own forms.
