A seasonal year of the flowers of Tokushima, blossom and scatter over a period of twelve hours. In continuous change the flowers grow, bud, and blossom, and eventually they scatter, wither, and fade away. The flowers go through a continual cycle of birth and death, repeating forever.

When a person stands before the flow of falling sand, the sand’s path is changed by their presence; the flow of the sand parts, and a space opens. 

Since ancient times, people have gazed at falling sand to gain a sense of the passage of short moments in time—and they have watched the changing of flowers to feel the passage of long-term changes in time.

The work is rendered in real time by a computer program; it is neither a pre-recorded animation nor on loop. The interaction between the viewer and the installation causes continuous change in the artwork. Previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur.
