0:00–"Birth" This represents the life about to begin and the bonds that will be formed.
0:30~ "Childhood" I imagined my first friends in life were probably toys or pets, so I expressed this with a moving robot. The inverted pendulum represents the vagueness of memory and living in the present without being bound by time.
1:00~ "Society" I chose to display a clock because I believe this is the period when the sense of time becomes most distinct, and I've expressed encounters and partings as spheres of light. The clock hands rotating both forward and backward represent the flow of time lived while contemplating diverse lives—those moving forward and those moving backward.
1:30~ "Late Years" I expressed what I've cultivated over the years through ruins. It conveys the idea of leaving only what is necessary for posterity, rather than something to be inherited by the next generation. I also expressed the idea that the recipient takes only what is necessary. Therefore, I avoided depicting the act of receiving with the palm facing downwards, keeping it ambiguous.
Throughout the work, I've incorporated pendulums, but these aren't meant to represent the "time" that appears in "society"—rather, they express a sense of the "ticking of time."
The title incorporates meanings such as "to connect" and "to bundle." When expressing the encounters and connections with various people throughout life using lines and dots, a single straight line connects each dot. As dots increase, more lines connect from dot to dot, and multiple lines branch out from a single dot. Centered on that single dot, the connected lines are bundled together by the dot itself—hence the title.
