Description
An iron sculpture that transforms memories of landscapes into a stone-like form
This sculpture translates memories and imagined landscapes from places the artist has visited into a stone-like silhouette constructed from iron rods. Its hollow structure allows a heavy exterior appearance to coexist with the lightness of its linear construction. The work also draws on an animistic understanding of stones as yorishiro - vessels through which spiritual presences may be invited to dwell.

Description
風景の記憶を石のような形へ置き換えた鉄の彫刻
これまで旅してきた土地の記憶や心象風景を、鉄の線材によって石のようなシルエットへ置き換えた彫刻作品。内部に空間を抱える構造によって、重量のある外観と軽やかな線が共存している。石を神や気配を迎える依代として捉える、アニミズム的な感覚も背景に含んでいる。
