This work is about demonstrations (demonstration activities).
In Israel, where I lived for many years, after 2023,Massive demonstrations by citizens were held every weekend as the situation deteriorated.That scene where anger and lamentation filled the city,I created this work to record it as my own experience.The individual voices are gathered together and eventually become a great energy and appeal,Conflicts and oppression are born…The structure is launched as a dance.

When we watch a dance, we sometimes tend to look for “meaning”. But just as the mind is relaxed when we see a natural landscape, there is an energy in dance that can be felt rather than reasoned. This solo is a kind of “chopstick rest” for you to just enjoy the comfort of the movement without thinking too deeply.

3. “territory”.

This trio of works is inspired by the ecology of insects. The work humorously depicts the relationships surrounding the “territory” , such as territory, comical clashes between like-minded people, and the friction that arises when lines are drawn.
