INISHIE NO KESSHO (Ancient Crystals)

Clear glass is seawater in your palms.
Turquoise-blue glass is seawater in the shallow.
Lapis-blue glass is seawater in the deep.

For our ancestors, the sea of Nagasaki was once their only connection to the outer world. I embraced such notion from ancient times into salt crystals, and scattered them as the moonlight sparkling over the night sea.

透明のガラスは手にすくった海の水、碧色は浅瀬の水、瑠璃色は深海の水。私たちの先祖にとって長崎の海が世界との唯一の絆だった。そんな、いにしえの想いを塩の結晶に包み込んで、夜の海にきらめく月の光のように散りばめてみた。
