Read MoreLife is a Poem walked life with a journey. Living in various places in Japan, Life is a Poem has got in touch with the nature of mountains and forests in each place, communicated with lives there. At ruins of castles, she felt presences of ancient warriors. At museums and libraries, she has read waves of works and artists and writers of the works. Experience of touch with nature brought her a question of what is life, which led her to study plant physiology and genetic epidemiology. Rather than seeking the answer, in order to create space that surrounds lives, Life is a Poem also studied architecture and woodworking. In the time she worked at some architecture studios, Life is a Poem has come to be interested in interrelationships or borders between lives and spaces or environment the lives surrounded. What divides “it” and “what is not “it””? Everything is transitory. What used not to be “it” becomes a part of “it”, What used to be “it” apart from “it”, or “it” may be recognized as “that”. Like a wind blowing through the universe, when the waves which invisible but resonate with each other are found, it will manifest. Life is a Poem finds something resonates, quiet and softly, with something far away.
