Project

This seven-metre piece was made in conjunction with the local farmer's co-op, using 9,000 bird-of-paradise flowers (Strelitzia).
Strelitzia has close associations with Okinawa, but in the local community it is mainly associated with funerals, so this work showed a new and different side of the flower. The sculpture was featured in a local newspaper, and after completion, the flowers were distributed to residents who visited the site.

この7mの作品は、地元の農協と共同で、9000本の極楽鳥花（ストレリチア）を使って作られた。
ストレリチアは沖縄にゆかりの深い花だが、地元では葬儀のイメージが強い。この彫刻は地元の新聞に掲載され、完成後は現地を訪れた住民に配られた。
