Concept天と地の間に住む人間は太陽、月、宇宙からの放射線ならず地球からの放射線の影響も受けた。
垂直に立つ透明な長方形、象徴されたエネルギーと天と地の威力の均衡。
透明な表面を貫通した水平なパイプは地表を漂う永遠の脅迫である放射線の飛跡を再現している。
この作品は抜け出す事の出来ない大国の絶望的な失策から生まれた。大国の失政とそれ自身の誇大妄想狂、貪欲、狂気が世界破滅へ誘導する。

The person living between sky and earth accepts effects from the sun, the moon, the cosmic radiation, but also from the earthy radiation. In my work, the vertical transparent rectangles, symbolize the energy and the balance between forces of sky and earth. The horizontal pipes that penetrate the transparent surfaces reconstruct the radioactive beams that hover above the surface of the ground giving the sense of a permanent threat. The idea of the work have been born by the deadlock problems of the contemporary era, that have been created by the person himself, in a frantic course of megalomania and greed, leading him to the selfdestruction.
