Title：Vessel of pray
作品プラン
珠洲這片土地，接收了名為船隻的「容器」，從海上帶來的文化與技術。人們在祭禮中，祈禱土地帶來漁獲豐收，並將感恩之心寄託於容器。在這片土地出生、生活、祈禱，同時交織出土地歷史的人們，他們的存在也許肩負著傳承文化與習俗的容器的任務。
在珠洲這片土地上，使用留有人們生活痕跡的舊衣，打造出以容器為構思的裝置作品，思考人們在土地生活的意義。
Suzu is a land that has received culture and technology arriving from the sea on “vessels” known as ships. In rituals, prayers and thanks for good catches and bountiful harvests granted by the earth are entrusted to dishes—another kind of vessel—in feasts. The people who are born, live, and pray in this land weave together its history and may play their own roles as vessels passing down its culture and customs. The artist uses old garments that retain traces of people’s lives, developing an installation that explores vessels as a motif and contemplates what it means for people to live on this land known as Suzu.
Haruka Yoshi（Japan）
1996年出生於茨城縣。畢業於築波大學藝術專業學群綜合造型領域還有東京藝術大學尖端藝術表現科。他主要使用舊衣物創作，其創作理念是以作品的形式保留自己與他人隨著時間而被淡忘的日常生活與記憶。對他而言裁縫、編織這手工不單只是以往修補衣物或製作道具的基本技能，更是維持生活水準與保存物品的重要手段，所以他堅持收集舊衣，用雙手重新賦予新生命。

Born in Ibaraki Prefecture in 1996. Graduated from Tsukuba University College of Arts and Design and the Department of Intermedia Art at Tokyo University of the Arts. She thinks about giving shape to the everyday events and memories of herself and others that disappear without being recorded, using mainly second-hand clothes to create her works. She collects second-hand clothes, focusing on the fact that manual work such as sewing and knitting was once a technique for repairing clothes and making tools, and was deeply connected to continuing life and handing things down. She then creates works by reconstructing these by hand.
