3. My Universe
What is the origin of "life"? I have interpreted this question as the beautiful radiance of all tangible and intangible things and phenomena that exist in the universe and the natural world.
We expressed the raw beauty of nature, the complexity of the universe, the diversity of life, and the most harmonious and balanced world in the ever-changing times, "the universe itself." The future woven with flowers and plants is here...

5. Where does water go?
A plant that is cut off from its roots will eventually wither and die when the moisture contained within it runs out. By planting it as a hedge or other structure, and showing the familiar inner expression of Kaizuka Ibuki, we hope to convey the water contained within it, as well as its strength to soak up water even when it is cut down, along with the fragrance it carries with it.

8. Bourgeonnante Planète
~ Budding Planet ~
Keihinjima, Ota Ward, was once a landfill site for garbage. The Dotei Project is based on the desire to turn this island into a lush island filled with flowers and plants, with the help of everyone. One day, this Dotei will sprout, become a planet in full bloom, and fly away like a hot air balloon across the country and the world. This work uses waste materials such as marine plastics, and a rich variety of unique plants such as fresh flowers and cacti. The power of the plants breathes life into the waste, and expresses a magnificent and powerful life force.

9. Heartbeat
"Just having it there makes you feel the presence of life."
First of all, I aimed to create a piece that would catch the eye of people when it comes into view, before making them stop and take notice.
People walking with their lovers, friends, spouses, or loved ones, people rushing to work, people coming to see the artwork,
I believe that if everyone can sense the presence of something above all else, then there is no doubt that there is "life" there.
This is an art piece that will give those who take the time to look at it a deeper sense of "life" through environmental issues.

地球は私の心のようだ
後悔や不満はゴミ山のように堆積し
忘れた筈の悩み事は海の
粒子プラスチックと化して今も私の中を漂う
それでも花は瓦礫の上から顔を出し希望に満ちて咲いていた
そうか、地球はまだ諦めていない
ならば私ももう一度自分を信じてみようと思う
