Flowers grow from the bodies of animals. The flowers bud, bloom, scatter and fade away.When people touch the animals the flowers scatter. Once all of the flowers have scattered the animals disappear.

This artwork, in which lamps are seemingly scattered in a random manner, is composed of resonating light that changes based on the relationship between the people in the artwork space. It is a work that expresses the beauty of continuity.
When a person stands still close to a lamp, it shines brightly and emits a sound. The light spreads to the two closest lamps, which in turn similarly emit a sound, spreading their light to the lamps nearest to them. The light, now divided into two, will pass through all of the lamps in the room once, creating a single trajectory of light. The light created by your presence and light created by the presence of others, will always intersect.
Although the lamps may seem randomly scattered, they have been intentionally placed so that regardless of the light’s starting point, or even if the light spreads endlessly, a smooth trajectory of light will always be created, crossing trajectories of light created by other people. 
More specifically, the arrangement of the lamps is mathematically determined. When drawing a line between lamps that are closest to each other, the distribution in height, direction of the lamp, and the smoothness of the three-dimensional trajectory is quantified in order to create a unicursal line with the same starting and ending point.
As a result, a lamp’s light triggered by a person’s presence will, regardless of the fact that it is only spreading to the closest lamps, always pass through every lamp only once. The light will always cross the light created by others, and return to the original lamp that started its trajectory.
The arrangement of the lamps may appear random, but it is to express the beauty of the continuity of light, created by people interacting with the lamps from any position.

Pointillism uses an accumulation of distinct dots of color to create a picture. Here, light points are used to create three-dimensional objects.

People use their smartphones to select stars to throw into the Crystal Universe. These stars are reborn in three dimensions, creating the artwork. The presence of people and their location within the work affect these three-dimensional stars, which in turn influence and are influenced by other stars in the space.
This artwork is forever evolving, changing from moment to moment due to the people in the space.

Flowers bud, bloom, and in the course of time, wither and die. While eternally repeating the process of life and death, the places where they grow change gradually. When people stand still, the flowers surrounding them grow and bloom abundantly, but when people touch the flowers or walk around, they scatter and die all at once.The artwork is not a pre-recorded image that is played back; it continues to be rendered in real time under the influence of people's behavior. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.
In spring in the Kunisaki Peninsula, there are many cherry blossoms in the mountains and canola blossoms at their base. A visit to this region led teamLab to wonder how many of these flowers were planted by people and how many of them were native to the environment. It was a place overflowing with flowers, a place of great serenity and contentment. This nature is an ecosystem influenced by human activity, making us feel that nature and humanity are not in conflict. Perhaps a truly comforting nature is one that encompasses human presence as part of the ecosystem. Based on the premise that nature cannot be completely controlled, this artwork explores human activity that lives closely aligned to the rules of nature.
This artwork is an ecological pictorial space drawn through Ultrasubjective Space, which continues to be generated along with the body, others, time, and the environment. Viewers physically walk around and touch inside the world of the artwork, transforming it together with others in the same space.
This pictorial space differs from images or paintings flattened by a lens or single-point perspective. In such images or paintings, space appears behind the picture plane; the space that opens there and the space the viewer inhabits are split, and the picture plane becomes a boundary surface. The viewpoint is fixed at a single point, and bodily freedom is lost.On the other hand, a picture plane formed by Ultrasubjective Space is not a boundary that separates where we are from the world of the artwork. The world of the artwork is not outside a window; it appears as a single field that is continuously connected, without boundary, to the space in which the viewer’s body exists. Moreover, any position — front, back, left, or right — can become a viewpoint, so viewpoints exist in infinite number, and the viewer is physically free to move.Not bound to a single point, the viewer moves their body and lets their eyes roam freely, continually re-composing the world of the artwork as it changes over time, and building the pictorial space within themselves. In that moment, the artwork becomes a centerless, subjective, and embodied pictorial space in which the viewer walks and touches.
In this space, the boundaries between the viewer and the artwork become ambiguous. The artwork transforms simply by the presence of a body there, and the behavior of others also changes the world of the artwork. In conventional art, other people were often considered an obstacle that interferes with a one-on-one relationship with the artwork. However, here, the presence of others enriches and creates new changes in the artwork.
This artwork is an attempt to expand painting from a world on the other side of the screen into a space continuous with the body, others, time, and the environment. The artwork continues to be generated within the relationships among the behavior of people, the life and death of flowers, the passage of time, and the entire space. Here, the painting does not exist on its own as a completed entity; it relates to people's bodies and includes the presence of others, existing as an ecological field without boundaries.
