Six detailed small reconstructions of a bridge-support near Kanda in Tokyo, are part of a series about iconic urban structures that embody the ever-changing character of this “living”city. Installed on a table, they form a hall that resembles architecture somewhere between a factory floor and a cathedral. An early version was shown at Iriya Gallery in Tokyo in 2016 and the final version at Nizayama Forest Art Museum in Toyama in 2018.
