wind_form
Organic shapes and movements are created by using six fans to direct wind flow towards pieces of cloth. This represents the universality and eternity existing in the consciousness of all human beings.
FLOW
As a piece of art to be displayed in the TEA & BAR area under the theme of “contemporary tea ceremony”, it is a modern interpretation of a “hanging scroll” expressing the transformation of nature. Video work is created using delicate fluid simulation with 3DCG software to visualize the phenomenon of “flow” existing in nature.
