Comment

I painted a huge diorama that combines artifacts related to space development at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., and measuring instruments and other artifacts at the Japan Meteorological Agency's Meteorological Science Museum, with natural landscapes in Japan, including Nara prefecture where I live in now.

Based on observations and surveys of the earth and the universe, I aimed to express the activity of continuing to consider the possibilities of human existence and behavior.
