This work is comprised of two glass installations set in
different locations. The first will be in the planters at
Roppongi Crossing, where the pieces themselves will assume
plant-like forms that glow in vivid colors. The second will be
at the Mohri Garden in Roppongi Hills, where the mysterious
works, unyielding to the surrounding forces of nature, will
inhabit the space as futuristic lifeforms, creating a
fantastical impression. These works share much in common with
the city of Roppongi and its ability to evolve with the times,
but also call attention to issues of looming environmental
crises.
