MIXED MEDIA+SOUND

Exhibited at Gallery CONTRAST, Japan

This 3D printed acoustic sculpture consists of two speaker units.

The high stratus clouds generated by the difference in temperature between day and night are called "oboro gumo," and the hazy moon caused by the clouds is called "oboro zuki."
Oborozuki, which is formed by ice crystals and water droplets, is said to be an omen of rain and has been used by numerous poets as a symbol of ethereal beauty and tranquility.
The "suyari gasumi" is a Yamato-e technique of abstracting clouds and haze, and also serves as a transition between the two scenes.

The "oboro zuki", misty with "suyauri gasumi" transitioning between the beginning and the end of the water cycle, is the stillness of the omen of rain.
