作品：ODORI / 宇宙を泳ぐ(そらをおよぐ)
制作：2017年〜
本作は、日本原産の観賞魚である錦鯉の優美な動きに日本の美を見出そうとする試みです。
日本では様々な環境で錦鯉を愛でる文化があります。
錦鯉は、天敵のいない環境下で、優美にすごし、人と共存共栄の関係にある錦鯉の動きを観察していると、互いにじゃれ合ったり、まるで踊っているかのような尾びれを使った動きを時折、織り交ぜる。
水中の中で縦横無尽に動き回る様子は、人工的に作れない美しさがあり、広大な宇宙を泳ぐ様子を連想させる。
This work is an attempt to find Japanese beauty in the graceful movements of Nishikigoi, an appreciation fish native to Japan.
In Japan, there is a culture of admiring Nishikigoi in various environments.
Nishikigoi live gracefully in environments where they have no natural enemies.
Observing the movements of Nishikigoi, which coexist and co-prosper with humans, we see them playing with each other and occasionally weaving their movements with their tail fins, as if they are dancing.
There is a beauty in the way they move freely in all directions in the underwater space that cannot be created artificially.
And when you face the pictures you have taken, you sometimes have the illusion of not being able to tell up from down, left from right.
Perhaps we feel the universe through the medium of carp.
