This work was created using unwanted furniture gathered with the cooperation of local residents. In Nakanojo—a place far removed from my own roots—I observed and dismantled materials deeply imbued with traces of personal history, environment, and the passage of time.

Through the space in which the work is installed, I engaged with the atmosphere and energy contained within these materials, attempting to express the traces they hold as a singular landscape. Rather than telling a story about the land or specific individuals, I sought to recreate a state of awareness grounded in physical experience—by composing a landscape that envelops the viewer in the presence of the place itself.
