Konoike perceives the legs as vehicles that move. A model resembling people that have only a head and legs, figures which appear once in childhood drawings, are the main characters of the early picture book "Mimio" (2001). They have been repeatedly incorporated in different forms, such as a hybrid of a small insect and a girl's leg. Because the leg is a fundamental means of locomotion, it also symbolizes the strength that transcends the boundaries of human classification and systematization. On the other hand, Go Ashore, in which the majestic antlers of an elk and the luscious legs of a woman are smoothly connected, has a remarkable rich sensuality that encourages the birth of life. The first version in 2017, which was destroyed by a typhoon, was installed at the northernmost cliff of the Noto Peninsula, the boundary between the sea and the land, so to speak. It is associated with the long process of evolution in which life that was nurtured in the sea eventually rises to land.
