Ideas always appear in my mind as scenes. My production process is to faithfully reproduce the scene in accordance with the setting, while figuring out the challenge of shaping the physical work. This work is a scene of five “lively face” sculptures, each about the height of a person, rolling around. In our city, where we have almost lost our faces, is it one of the main purposes of life to meet an “lively face”? I would like to watch with a feeling similar to admiration as the “lively face” roll around in the city, free from the artist’s hands.
