Fiber has protected the human body since the dawn of history and has always been deeply involved in human life as a means of information. The importance of its existence remains the same in modern times, but I have used fiber as a material for internal expression rather than external one. Fiber is a wire material, and no matter how many layers it is, it will only be bulky. Manual work such as assembling, weaving, and entwining is required. This work is an important time to contain and convey beliefs, passions, emotions and thoughts. There is a word "Chinsen" in Japanese. It means to calm down and think deeply, sinking to the bottom of the water. Instead of "beauty" and "interesting" as representations, I want to visually replace the submerged beauty "Chinsen's beauty" that permeates my body and create a sense of relief in the space of modern people.
