6 : Lakes and Islands "
Date: 2007
Dimensions (cm): 20.3 long x 10.1 wide x 2 high
Material: wood, form board, paper, fiber, felt, dried and dyed
flowers, adhesive
Description:
Initially, the inspiration came from the landscape of Scotland.
This work represents 2 classrooms which belong to the same year. As children
grow, their interests towards the outer world grow, too, and the other
class in the year is easily the first target. Naturally, there are many
possible relationships between the two classes. One might sometimes pose
as a close partner to the other but sometimes as rival. I think this already
reflects the reality in the society to certain degree.
What I tried to suggest is that there are more than one view point in
the world and people should respect each other if they hold different
perceptions upon the same thing. Besides, some kind of harmony might even
come from the cooperation of totally opposite sides.
This pair of classrooms could also be used as a laboratory to monitor
if geographic environment affects people's characters.
