The placement of the present

If you view the Shima rivers surface, the flow gives you the feeling of a farewell or a new encounter passing by. This is now the present appears and disappears before us. By chasing the flow of the river and the flow of the time, if I scoop them, spill in our hands. I would like you to imagine yourselves being under water on the river bed and the flow of its water. Then, focus on staying there and you will feel moved by the perception of space in this abstract world.
Here in this old school building this physical three dimensional before you paint my inner self and its worldly phenomenon. Our memories of childhood overlap with our present memories and saturate the memories of “now”. This is the space which shows those memories.
