『Silence and Energy』
"Fountain" This is an element of [European / Western] style garden. By spouting water in defiance of gravity, it creates the beautiful.
In comparison to this, Japanese likes to find out the beautiful in natural movement , for example "Shishiodoshi (decorative bamboo irrigation pumps)"
「古池や蛙飛こむ水の音」。
Furu ike ya / kawazu tobikomu / mizu no oto (Ah! The ancient pond, as a frog takes the plunge, sound of the water)
In this a famous Haiku poem of Basho MATSUO, it present the Japanese taste beautiful with perfect balance of Silence and Energy.
Spouting water of Fountain, there will never be Silence.
My artwork brings you; Energy by emerging of air from the water surface; and Silence by widening ripple and fading to nothing.
『Artist statements』
Water, this can shape into Ocean but also can form into a Vase.
Air, this can shape into Sky but also can form into a Balloon.
These two elements shape our earth as a thing.
