EXOBIOTANICA ―BOTANICAL SPACE FLIGHT―

大地に根を張り、重力の配下で生きる、地球上の植物たち。
根と、土と、重力と。その、生命の繋がり を断つことで、生まれる「美」とは何か。
上空30,000M、摂氏マイナス50°の過酷な”自然”の中で、
植物たちは、地球外生命体（EXOBIOTA） へと進化する。
地球の稜線に活けられる松。劇風に煽られながら太陽へと向かう花束。
あらゆるものから解き放たれて、植物たちは、宙へ。

Plants on the earth rooted in the soil, under the command of gravity.
Roots, soil and gravity – by giving up the links to life, what kind of “beauty” shall be born?
Within the harsh “nature”, at an attitude of 30,000 meters and minus 50 degrees Celsius,
the plants evolve into EXBIOTA (extraterrestrial life).
A pine tree confronting the ridge line of the Earth. A bouquet of flowers marching towards the sun hit by the intense wind.
Freed from everything, the plants shall head to the space.
