The only material substances present in this space are ordinary soap, water, and air. The bubbles are soap bubbles.
This floating, immense sculpture emerges from a sea of bubbles, transcending the very concept of mass. It neither sinks to the ground nor rises completely to the ceiling, but instead drifts in the middle of the space. The contours of its existence are ambiguous—it fragments into smaller pieces, but merges into a larger mass. Even when people fully immerse themselves in this sculpture, its existence remains intact. If broken by people, it naturally restores itself. However, when the sculpture is destroyed beyond what it can repair, it collapses, unable to recover. Even if people try to move or push this floating sculpture, they cannot do so,, and if they stir up wind, the sculpture disperses entirely. Physical human actions cannot move the sculpture.
Objects such as stones and man-made creations maintain a stable structure on their own. A stone will continue to exist even if placed in a sealed box, isolated from the external world.On the other hand, a vortex created in the ocean disappears instantly when transferred into an enclosed box. In other words, a vortex does not maintain a stable structure independently. A vortex exists within the flow created by its environment formed by water continuously from the outside to the inside and from the inside to the outside, maintained by the vortex’s ordered structure. This flow allows the vortex to shift as the surrounding currents change. Moreover, its boundaries are ambiguous, and there is no material distinction between the vortex and its surroundings.
Rather than a solid object, this sculpture is created by the order of energy generated by the phenomena of a unique environment.  Let us call this existence created by the order of energy, a "Higher Order Sculpture." The artwork is inseparable from the environment and changes along with the environment. It transcends the conventional notions of physical objects—it sustains its existence mid-air, having ambiguous boundaries, and it is able to maintain its shape even when people immerse themselves physically into the sculpture, naturally restoring itself even if the sculpture breaks.
By filling the space with soap bubbles, a distinct environment is created in which an order of energy is born. By doing so, a massive form emerges from this sea of bubbles that floats steadily in mid-air.
In modern biology, the definition of life cannot be strictly defined, but everything that is structured upon cells, capable of metabolism, and self-reproduction are labeled living things for convenience. In other words, all living things are composed of cells. All cells are enclosed by a cell membrane constructed of a lipid bilayer, with the hydrophilic part facing outward and the hydrophobic part covered within the layers. Both the inside and outside of the enveloping membrane are liquid. Soap bubbles are similarly enveloped by lipid bilayer membranes, and these membranes are structurally identical to cell membranes. However, contrary to cells, the bilayer of the bubble membrane floats in and encloses air, so the hydrophobic part faces outward, while the hydrophilic part is covered within the layers. In other words, if we consider cells to be pouch-shaped membranes in liquid, then bubbles are pouch-shaped membranes in air. This sculpture is created from substances composed in the same ways as cells, the structuring units of life-forms, and the order of energy created from this environment.
The same is true of life. It consumes external matter and energy as food and discharges it, sustaining its ordered structure as the energy dissipates. Life exists within the flow of matter and energy, and its contour, like a vortex, is ambiguous.Perhaps, life is a miraculous phenomenon that emerges in the flow of matter and energy, and its structure is the order of energy created by that flow.

本作品超越了作品間的界線，與其他的作品相互影響。在1個小時內，將一年四季花朵的花開花落持續地呈現。


花朵會從誕生、生長、開花，到不久後的凋謝、枯萎、死亡。也就是說，花朵永遠地重複著誕生和死亡。

花朵會因為觀賞者的凝視生長的比平常多、如果觸摸花朵、踩踏花朵就會一齊凋謝。

作品不是將預先製作好的影像進行放映，而是通過電腦程序實時繪製而成的。整體來說，作品的圖像並非複制以前的狀態，而是受到人們行為舉止的影響，持續發生變化。眼前這一瞬間的畫面，錯過就無法再看到了。

並且，花朵會因為受到“水粒子世界”中水流的影響而凋謝，飄落。

春天，到訪的群山櫻花爛漫，山腳油菜花片片。面對絢爛的山花，使我不禁遐想，這些花有多少是人工種植的，又有多少是大自然的饋贈。這裡綻放的花朵無邊無際，是讓人心曠神怡的場所。而接著讓我感受到的是，這裡的自然環境多多少少是受到了人為影響而形成的生態環境。有多少是自然原本的相貌，又有多少是人為影響造成的，界線非常模糊。也就是說，自然與人類沒有對立的概念，讓人心曠神怡的大自然結合了人類的影響，是和諧共處的生態環境。而有別於近代，人類對於自然無法掌握和控制的前提下，有了遵循自然法則的人們的長期經營，才創造了這個讓人心曠神怡的自然環境。生活在這個山谷裡的人們，依稀地讓我感覺到自古以來的自然與人的關系性依然留存，我想近一步探索在無法控制自然的前提下，對於自然產生影響的人為因素到底是何物。

人類自身和環境是“不二”的，也就是說看上去是不同的，但實際是同一的，不分彼此且無法分離的。這裡的“無法分離，指的或許並非是統合，而是對於雖然看上去是兩個不同的東西，但實際上是同一物體的再認知。
用“空書”在立體地書寫著像征著生命和生存的“生”字。“空書”是teamLab從創立以來一直延續的，在空間裡書寫的書法。書法特有的墨跡，深淺度、速度和力度，在全新詮釋的空間裡被立體的再構建，通過teamLab的“超主觀空間”的理論結構被二次元化。書法在平面和立體之間不斷巡回。
生存在現代社會的我們，把我們所思考的“生”用形態表現出來。
