That day a shooting star shot, fell into may heart and turned into stone
あの日流れ星が流れて私の心に落ちて石となる

Watercolor and ink on paper, 20 sheets each 70 × 50 cm, total installation approx. 360 × 340 cm, rope (Shuronawa), wooden beam and ventilator 2025

The stones appear on thin, translucent paper, yet they carry the weight of time, loss and endurance.
In reference to Japanese animistic traditions, stones and wind are conceived as sentient beings that carry memory and embody time.
The ventilator becomes a non-human actor, gently moving the paper and animating the stones, revealing both their fragility and resistance.
The installation opens a threshold space of transformation, a play between lightness and weight, visibility and invisibility.
