Lorry

After years to cleanup heavily polluted soil, a former industrial site 'Westergasfabriek' has been reused as 'Culture park Westergasfabriek'. Park keepers have made continuous efforts to look after nature in the park. Nature has multiplied it's life force to produce an ideal wildness in the urban city. General idea of my art works in the park Correlating with a development of the city, animals in the park have survived and grown their urban activities. They have become sophisticated enough to cooperate and work well together with human. I make artworks with an aim to give another dimension to the park and cross over the border between human activities and activities of nature.

Check-in counter

It is often appeared in the park whenever temporary events are happened. They are putting fences around and controlling a check-in and out. I made a miniature check-in counter and a queue aria in front of bushes. I would like to represent this significant activity of human to demarcate a border in a middle of free land.
