CONCEPT
Some ancient scripts which are not deciphered yet. They are being buried assimilating with green and sand. Or nobody notices that they are secretly engraved on the stone. They are evidence of human being, which is no longer here. However, the memories of life which coexisted with nature are in those ancient scripts. I want to express the power and pleasure of them. Moreover, I want to tell it to someone. When I think of the ancient scripts, I might understand the origin of human being inside of me.
