■Concept Human voices are invisible and easy to forget, yet I often have the feeling that voices are tactile and occupy a certain space that I want to artistically represent as various volumes or solid shapes.

This work enables me to demonstrate to an audience the existence of "voice" as a physical object and how it floats through space. □motif ▼"KODAMA" 【echo / tree spirit (fairy)】 (1)Soul that stays in tree. tree fairy. (2)(It had been thought the act of the soul of the tree, in old days. )Echo of sound that happens in mountain and valley. It is that return the sound and the voice. |
