川底を転がりやがてたどり着いた河原でそれは「いし」になる。そのさまざまな形や質感は「時の流れ」を表す一つの現象。石の纏う「ある場所、ある時の余韻」を抽出することを意図し和紙で象ったのはただそこに漂う「いし」。

It rolls along the river bottom and eventually becomes a “stone” on the riverbank where it arrives. Its various shapes and textures are a phenomenon that expresses the “flow of time. I intended to extract the “lingering memory of a certain place and time” that the stone represents, and I used Japanese paper to represent the “ISI” drifting there. The word “isi” means “stone” in Japanese and has the same pronunciation for words meaning will, intention and thinking.
