コンセプトは“1本の木から創りだす木の香りによる空間”。芳香で知られる青森ヒバを使用し、1本を100本に裁断。柔らかなウェーブをかけ、100本の線が連続して宙に楕円を描く。なかを歩くと微妙に揺れ動き、森の芳香とともに木の精と対話する空間。

With using Aomori hiba wood, known for its refreshing fragrance, the idea was an “installation created from a single tree” to express the potential strength and gracefulness of wood with figures. The wood of a single hiba tree was cut into one hundred thin strips and each strip given a gentle curve. The strips were installed in a series forming an oval form suspended in space. As you walked through it the wavy lines would sway subtly. The work was acclaimed as a “space filled with the fragrance of wood and seeming alive with the chatter of forest sprites.”
