World Spirit" is a traditional concept in Western philosophy and thought, which states that "the world lives as one large living organism and has a spirit. In this work, the personification of the world spirit is depicted by combining images of the Holy Mother and Child from a church in Yamagata Prefecture and the Hontsubo bell from a Shinto shrine. By depicting a scene in which the world spirit stands on a farm tractor and parades around with an old car and musical dolls in the background, the work expresses the world in motion as one large living entity.
