[After the '98 Yonago Sculpture Symposium]
​ Gravitation means gravity.
"The moment the foal stands up immediately after birth, the appearance of plants germinating and growing from the ground, and the" energy to life "common to many archaeological sites built by humankind. The force that opposes gravity. Reconstruct the power that is inherent in each of them, and express it as a form that is rooted in the earth. "

I have continued to produce with the above concept.

This time, the work produced by Yonago is a work that aims to face the gravity and not to make you feel the gravity. It's a moment when a stone rooted in the ground seems to forget its weight and rise. Two works made of natural stones were set up in a position where they attracted each other, and the same stones were placed around them to express them as one place. I hope that you can feel the energy even when the citizens take a walk.

The 44 days in Yonago have been the most exciting days I will never forget. Every event and every encounter was fun and meaningful as if it had been organized by someone from the beginning. We would like to thank all the people involved in the symposium, including the Yonago Sculpture Symposium Secretariat.

Last but not least, I would like to thank Jesse Souzbury, Hideo Motoike, and the creator of Motoike for their great cooperation in the production of my work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
