Author's comment

We build houses by drawing lines.
And they live their lives surrounded by these lines.

Judge's review

Subject and object surrounding existence, inhabiting, living... Those who build are beginning to place importance on the things they live in, and architects are becoming more conscious of artistic expression. What makes us aware that the vessel we live in is a collection of lines is the body that contains the inhabitant's own vision. This is a work that stirs the imagination into the history of the subjects that inhabit the screen, but are only implicitly present on the screen. (Kohata Kazue)
