The subject which always interests me is boundary. 

Boundaries exist everywhere, in a wall, in a curtain, and it also exists in my own body too. And sometimes there is a invisible boundary exists around us. We can not see country borders actually,

and we will be somewhat uncomfortable with the person sit next to us when we take train. What is the purpose of making the boundary? We set the border to prevent from attacking by a foreign country or to make the place into sacred space from the old times. The space enclosed by the boundary is blocked from the view and we could feel something deep meaning in some way.

We actually have to pass the boundary or to imagine to get to the other side. We have to pass the surface as a boundary when we imagine the inside, although we can not enter the inner part practically. I think that to imagine the inner part seems as if melting the boundary at a slow speed. Perhaps we could enter somewhere irregular space by watching the boundary although we can not get to the inside practically. I think staring and passing the boundary by imagination is something like a ceremony. I just present the boundary to create such a ceremonious place.
