這是個使用整棟舊小泊幼兒園的鹽繪作品。在時光倒流般的隧道裏，描繪了作家至今為止創作的主題「迷宮」，隧道深處建造著「鹽塔」的房間。讓幼兒園特有的空間設計與作品區並存，昔日的活力與靜謐交相輝映。
A drawing work that uses the entire former Kodomari Daycare Center. The “labyrinth” that the artist uses as a motif is drawn in a tunnel that looks as though you are going back in time, and the room where the “tower of salt” was built spreads out behind it. The space resembling a daycare center and drawing area coexist, with the former vibrancy and tranquility intersecting.

1966年出生於廣島縣尾道市。1995年畢業於金澤美術工藝大學。為了怕遺忘與年輕已逝的妻子和妹妹的回憶，長年他以「鹽」製作繪圖。展示完後還有與鑑賞者一起破壞作品、將鹽歸還大海的企劃。

Born in 1966, Hiroshima. Graduated from Kanazawa College of Art in 1995. Currently residing in Kanazawa.
With memories with his late wife as well as his late sister, both of whom left this world at a young age as the main theme for his work, he has been working on installation using salt symbolizing cleansing/purification in Japan. On last day of exhibition, he destroys installation with audience and returns salt to sea. Past exhibitions include MoMA PS1, State Hermitage Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo.
