Emerging Atelier

Two buddhas brought from Taisyakuten in Mt. Fuji and look up the tree next to it. This tree is not only a tree.

This is an epitome of many universes that holds mosses, plants, birds and even invisible bacterias. The big tree that holds many lives and white painting that feels a shadow of the sunlight filtering through trees.

By putting the beds between these two paintings, the lights passing over the beds are expressing.

This is an istallation work draws the lights flowing in the visitors sense.
