Title：The human is started from baby
作品プラン
古埃及墳墓陪葬品中，有一輛幼兒玩具推車，這代表了墳墓的主人轉世時將再次從嬰兒時期展開人生。希望死者在轉世後的現世能過著衣食無虞的生活，因此包含玩具在內，將一生中會用到的所有物品一起下葬。這是一件以人從新生嬰兒開始的人生為主題，思考這個世界、宇宙、歷史的現象的作品。
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.
