■Work philosophy
In the copper light cube, the flowers change with the actual season throughout the year and continue to change forever, influenced by the behavior of the people.
Throughout the year, the flowers bloom for one year.
Flowers are born, bloom, scatter, wither and die. In other words, flowers repeat birth and death. As people move nearby, the flowers scatter, and as they stand still, more flowers are born.
The work continues to be drawn in real time by computer programs. It does not play pre-recorded video. As a whole, the previous state is not duplicated, but continues to change forever under the influence of human behavior. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.

■Work philosophy
Although the written “Skysho” rotates in the same direction in the work space, the left-hand and right-hand rotations are logically equivalent visually as a characteristic of “super-subjective space.” Therefore, depending on the consciousness, the calligraphy turns clockwise or clockwise.
“Skysho” is a book written in space. The three-dimensional reconstruction of the depth, speed, strength of the ink of the calligraphy in the space with a new interpretation, using the logical structure of the super-subjective space of TeamLab, two-dimensional Has been Calligraphy moves between planes and solids.
