KYOTARO HAYASHI x Ryu
Giving shape
I have felt that there is a unique “wind” that blows here since I first visited the former Shioya Elementary School.
The wind was somehow nostalgic and gentle.
Chiffon swaying in the wind.
The sound particles swaying in the wind.
It swayed when people passed by, and it swayed when the wind passed by.
This work allows you to feel the wind visually, audibly, and experientially.
It gives shape.
