Puzzle of "Color of Wind"

Ceramics, Steel, Stainless steel

4,000×20×110 (h)cm

One day, human presence will cease, and time will pass peacefully.
Marked time passes on the platform of the old Higashi Iida Station.
A slight hint of colour climbs on the wind and gently moves on, without even looking back.
Does the colour on the wind wander like a puzzle, gazing into the distance?
I keep my feet on the platform.

A wind blows gently through the precincts of Takaku shrine in Amabiki Village. It now sleeps peacefully, leaving traces of past glory. That must be a gentle wind, like one in a memory. Sometimes it is a fiercely raging wind. A wind that is moved to tears. A wind that laughs. The color of the wind of ancient times is faintly visible. The color of the wind is in the middle of a memory.
