The third video in a series introducing the sport of lacrosse. It focuses on the roles of each position that support the team. We visualized the skills and strategies required in both offense and defense. We carefully portrayed how every position is an essential part of the team.

Noise;nse is a work that explores various aspects of reality through changes brought about by visual noise. The sound of a car engine, the wavering patterns of curtains—our surroundings are filled with noise that places a burden on the senses. What is noise to humans is a foothold for technology to perceive reality. Could there be a world of noise known only to technology? In this work, by adding the direction, distance, and color of light to two pieces of fabric and generating visual noise—such as periodic misalignment and distortion—it expresses how the patterns of plants are transformed. Striped moiré patterns appear around the fabric, while different patterns emerge in the plants sandwiched between the fabrics. These are changes in noise caused by the unique unevenness of the plants.

As a second-year junior high school student, 14 years old, I suddenly awakened to “maternal instinct” one morning on my way to school. Ten years later, after being consumed by this maternal instinct that had awakened as if I had been struck by lightning, a friend told me it was similar to the Virgin Mary’s immaculate conception, and I began to question my own maternal instinct once again. From there, I conducted interviews about pregnancy and childbirth, and unraveled my own memories from the past ten years, pursuing the awakening of my maternal instinct… Virgin birth, genes, trying to conceive… I explore motherhood by journeying through memories from ten years ago to the present. Starting from my personal feeling of wanting a baby, which I had held from adolescence to the present, I expanded the idea to consider whose motherhood it is. Although the word “motherhood” contains “mother,” I wondered whether it is not necessarily an emotion only women have, and whether it is different from paternal instinct as well. So I ultimately sought to express a world in which, regardless of whether one is female, male, or transgender, one can encounter one’s own “baby.” From my personal feelings, I hope this becomes an opportunity for others to think about encountering and cherishing a baby in whatever form that may take. To reach that conclusion, the work incorporates memories related to motherhood that occurred during my own ten years, as well as interviews about motherhood. I then translated these into the work through different modes of expression. Although the work brings together ten years of events into a single piece, it is not depicted in a correct chronological order, and not everything comes solely from within myself. Because I created it by collaging fragments together, both the modes of expression and the chronology are all mixed up.

A girl daydreaming in the forest. The chirping of birds and the sound of blood flowing through her body. Within a peaceful sleep, quietly and powerfully, her cells are being reborn. I created this work with the hope of making a video that is not only seen, but felt.
