​[About the work]
Yonago is a small town, but I had the impression that it was a relaxing time.
Compared to the masculine and harsh climate of Shinshu, where I currently live, the scenery of the wide sky, the Sea of Japan, and the towering mountains of Oyama gives me a feeling of a broad motherhood that gently envelops everything that lives there. .. You may feel that because it is the land that is the origin of yourself as a pasture.
I wanted to make a sculpture centered on a female image as a shape that symbolizes the city of Yonago.
The sun and moon in the background represent the daily activities of the people who live there.
The title of the work is "Myth of the Sun and the Moon", but there is a special story and it is not such a work. Through this work, I hope that you will feel the story in the lives of each person who has faced the work.
What I can clearly see in this work is a story made in the hot summer sun with many people involved during the symposium, and after daily production, talking in the dusk. It is a story that has been spun. I hope that the various events of one summer will be recollected through this work as a memory of everyone and a story of a sculpture symposium under the sun and the moon.
