Mariyo Yagi is an environmental artist who has grasped the enormous flow of energy generated from the crust and has sought to create a model in which human existence becomes one with the environment. The "Rope Logii" series is known as her masterpiece, as the twisting of the rope suggests a variety of life balances. This time, we will select iron, which is related to the creation of the earth, as a material, and announce a new work that explores the unprecedented path of life and human beings. Yuna Yagi is working on expressions that confront nature from an excellent perspective, such as the series of "Tanekaku Yu" that spins the fragility and richness of life, and photographic works that visualize the passage of time and the trajectory of light. There is. The latest work is a series of laying down the ground, which is like the present tense of the expression of the earth after a long time.
"Following the Crust" is an exhibition that creates a cosmological space in the city where great energy is born by the synergy of the works of the two people.
