Installation, SUMIDA EXPO 2022/ BOSAI ART AWARD Rainwater (collected by the artist from individual water tanks), glass jars, 2022 This work is a two day sound installation in which nearly 200 glass jars gradually collapse on the concrete floor of Sumida Komuten. The jars scattered across the floor like industrial waste possess a destructive quality, yet the subtle sounds produced by their collapse resonate quietly against the concrete. Water moves slowly and disappears while reflecting the light, exposing its inherent violence through the form of silence. The artist collected rainwater from private water tanks known as Rojison, which are installed by individual residents in the disaster-prone Sumida district for emergency use, and froze the water inside glass jars. As the water expanded, it created cracks from within the glass. The ice acts as a temporary core that barely holds the cracked jars together, and as it gradually melts, the glass loses its core and slowly collapses, producing delicate sounds against the concrete floor.
