This Series One is an exploration of the reciprocal relationship between character and space. Through the arrangement, application, and combination of materials, distinct proportions emerge that reflect individual personalities. Gradually, these qualities are revealed within their environments, highlighting their differences from one another—and breaking away from the monotonous, distorted architecture often found in repressive urban contexts. The characters in these projects have also shaped my own understanding of the world.
After the catastrophe, the world became orderless. There’s chaos everywhere, in other words, a mess from the houses, the blocks, to the roads. Things seem to be inaccurate.
While you look up to the corner of the houses, the edge meanders from the ground to the rooftop. The sky is always dark. A full moon never occurs, and the sun barely shines. It seems to be a distinctive odor diffusing, smelling damp. From the nose to the lungs, as if soaking in water. Everyone’s drowning together, without consciousness.
As for the street, there are puddles everywhere; can’t even the sun evaporate. Some of them pop up from the ground; you can never tell where they come from. The water looks crystal clear, sparkling in blue and green. Far from the black water in which the island is soaking. You’ll never see any insects and animals or plants.
Somewhere, they might be hiding. Nobody ever asks, and nobody ever cares. The seemingly integrated city was built by the remaining catastrophe. Only a few people wander; any other vehicles can hardly be seen. People were wandering slowly, and even more slowly, so to say, deadly. The world is not at all that deplorable, so to speak; it’s just……not so vital, at most. Most people wouldn’t consider it a problem. Emotionless, having a bad day is, after all......still a day.
Only a few are different, using different objects while living different lives. Carrying different influences, not so powerful nor so wide-ranging. Even though they’re not trying to change the world, after all, the influences always spread gently. These characters symbolize different aspects of characteristics. A world of SOMETHING is to be expected and would be constructed ceaselessly.
