A procession with no beginning and no end. We have had a strong craving for our true nature based on the faith in perfection. But rather, our sense perception have made us meet the delusions. Our procession is one with the statues of mounted soldiers who have broken out of the unenlightened, repressed and unplugged space. Where are we going?

I have been drawn to the whisper of a floating source...
I wish I had some time
to quietly have a look at the rhythm of the air.

A rusted, empty can tells of time and space that once came to a halt. This is a pig barn, like an alien space, which I found in Amabiki. In this place, where even life stopped and silence continued, I dig out a new time and space, and secretively create movement.
