  • Rebirth

    Stainless steel, Iron, Winch, Wire rope

    200×1,370×380 (h)cm

    I used the egg form to symbolize life.
    I placed it in the pond as a source of life, to create an interest in people as to ‘what’ the shine of the water’s surface and the cracking egg might give birth to.
    I hope that both the structural beauty and this scenery deepen the meaning of my sculpture.

    240×240×640 (h)cm

    Tranquility requires wilderness. The world was born out of tranquility, and the past, present and future coexist as a single entity. When an elevator comes to a momentary stop, tranquility exists there.

  • A CRESCENT

    2500 kg

    The space inside the arch of a crescent moon has a mystical attraction.
    Suspending a meteorite (lava) in that space and reflecting the drama of space in a calm water surface added to the appeal of that environment.

    My sculpture takes reverence for nature as its spiritual support, and is based on the beauty of the mechanical structure between spatial tension and an instant of halted time.
    This bridge continues to point in the direction to the earth’s axis.

    Iron, Drums (stainless steel), Fluorescent paint, Artificial ecology reef, Black light

    800×800×450 cm
    750 kg

    This piece floats on the water surface. There is an artificial habitat reef beneath the surface, which is purifying the water.
    The shape supported by the buoyancy of the metal drums stores energy from ultraviolet rays and releases it as light after dark, shining like the breath of creatures in the dark of night, and moving slowly with the wind and waves.
    It is a proposal to the 21st century for the formation of environments.
