Reclaimed Land

09.12.-20.12.2020

“This theme, which I started working on last year, is based on the original landscape of the land where I was born and raised. It is a Japanese countryside where people and nature have been involved for 1000 years. One of the few landscapes that escaped development by accident remains. I have been able to live in this miraculous world since childhood. Among them, the shaping of the earth created by artificial cultivation and a long battle with nature has become my own blood and flesh. Eventually it became the rhythm of my expression. It is as if oneself has become a god and a creator of the shaping of the world. That is the meaning of reclaimed land, the current theme. “

***
Tämä teema, jonka kanssa aloitin viime vuonna, perustuu alkuperäiseen maisemaan maassa, jossa synnyin ja kasvoin. Se on japanilainen maaseutu, jossa ihmiset ja luonto ovat eläneet tuhannen vuoden ajan. Yksi harvoista maisemista, joka säilyi muuttumattomana vahingossa, on edelleen olemassa. Olen voinut elää tässä ihmeellisessä maailmassa lapsuudesta asti. Heidän joukossaan maan muokkauksesta viljelyyn ja pitkästä taistelusta kanssa luonnon muovaamisesta on tullut oma vereni ja liha. Lopulta siitä tuli ilmaisuni rytmi. On kuin itsestään olisi tullut jumala ja maailman muotojen luoja. Se on raivatun maan merkitys, nykyinen teema
