Title：The human is started from baby
作品プラン
在古埃及，墓穴中的陪葬品里会包括幼儿玩耍用的手推车，意味着墓主转世时，新的一生会从婴儿开始。除了玩具，毕生所用物品都会一同埋葬，寄望死者在新生后不会有任何生活的不便。该装置作品的主题是人从婴儿开始的一生，旨在思考这个世界、宇宙、历史的事象。
Ancient Egyptian tombs included push cars for infants to play with, signifying that when the person to whom the tomb was dedicated was reborn, he or she would start life again as a baby. Along with toys, all the items expected to be used throughout a person’s life were also buried there. The dead were sent off with hopes that their new lives would lack for nothing. This installation that considers phenomena in the world, the universe, and history based on the theme of a person beginning life as a baby.
