Work Description
I see the river as a metaphor for the passage of time, quietly carrying us from the past through the present toward an unnamed future. To me, stars falling from the night sky symbolize souls and voices, transforming into part of the river’s flow. In Ainu yukar (oral traditions), stars and rivers connect the human world with the realm of kamuy (spirits). Through these stories, I sense that the memories embedded in the land and those buried within myself belong to the same current. This work explores the intersection of collective memory and personal time, where stars become rivers, flowing and transforming endlessly. Within this cycle, I find a sense of being alive.
