Work Title：•EVOLVING SPACE•

The theme is deconstructivist architecture, which is a school of post-modern architecture, and we challenge our own architectural limitations of expressing the space by transforming objects, materials, and structures, and reflecting the decomposition process carried out in deconstructivist architecture on the exterior.

Deconstruction is not just a technique or a disturbing structure.

Through this link we communicate and exchange information and life energy.

Work Title：OUROBOROS

The motif is “Ouroboros”, a symbol of ancient mythology. The snake eating its tail represents a link that has no beginning or end, and symbolizes eternal cycles, rebirth, infinity, and endless connections.
It links with the world, nature, life and death, and asks how humans should connect with the world.

Work Title：Butterfly effect

Everything is connected. Even the simple flapping of a butterfly’s wings can have big consequences. This project explores how this butterfly influences buildings, setting off a chain reaction that evolves building facades and transports us through time and into different environments.

★ FLIGHTGRAF │ 2013 / Japan

Work Title：Connected

What we imagined from the theme of “LINK” is a life game where you observe life and death.

Nowadays, when we look at the situation in the world from a bird’s-eye view, we sometimes feel as if we are being manipulated by someone else. Through this work, the audience is asked whether they are connected somewhere, or whether they were already connected.

★ Sembilan Matahari │ 2012 / Indonesia

Work Title：JapaNMenyala

The core of this work is to tell the story of Garuda, the pride of Indonesia. Garuda is a mythical bird that is cherished by the people of Indonesia. This expression of light, called Menyala in Bahasa, signifies a touching reunion that bridges an 11-year friendship and fosters unity.
