“Jigami, the energy of the land”
(2006, Japan/Art installation)
The artwork “Jigami” from 2005 is reproduced at the rooftop of the Rose Hotel. This full of raw woods artwork is a good contrast to the view of modern city from the rooftop, which provides us the opportunity to reconsider the relationship between human and nature. The driftwoods get carried away from the mountains to the ocean symbolizes the cycles of the natural world. How trees spring up from the land beneath us and return back to the land where it was given life is an example of the dynamic energy, vitality, and the interconnected relations of the natural world. When being in a city, people tend to feel they rule over nature, but by capturing it in a larger perspective, we realize that we are just a small fraction of this large natural world.
“A metamorphasis of a man” in room 501
(2019, Thailand/Art installation)
To live in society, we sometimes require to compromise ourselves between our true nature and the reasoning. We try to maintain the balance while suffering from agony, conflict, and pain. In most cases, these struggles are not shown in public but rather happening in a private domain like the hotel room. It is happening inside one’s mind quietly and secretly.
