I have been working on the works which relate to the act of moving and walking.
For me, the restriction of movement under corona virus forced me to think about the true nature of my creation itself. 4 years ago, I have moved my studio which located in a small fishing town called Heda in Izu peninsula.
For over two months under corona virus infection, everyday, I have always been to the sea near by and just watching it. There are lots of ships in the harbor, and fishermen were also watching the sea vaguely wondering when they can go fishing again.
I daily photographed the shadow of the ropes of the ship which moves according to the vibration of the waves.
I don’t know if I reflected myself over those small ships which are bound to the land with ropes. Maybe I was trying to catch the signals from the nature, that waves created by its fluctuation.
Anxiety, impatience, and various thoughts which has been inside me during the time of corona infection, appeared as a line and it echoed inside me as if it was a sutra.
