Trèfle à Quatre feuilles #8 -Wongol Project

u FRANCAIS

My interest concerning the series of wooden installations is to install a standardized symbol into the nature landscape.

The four-leaf clover is a symbol of luck. By presenting a series of installation which is in the shape of four-leaf clover, I would like to bring and encourage discussions about future vision of human environment.

While the first model in the former project had been designed at fully by computer, this second model traces its form from a real four-leaves clover.

The nuclear power plant accident at Fukushima Japan caused by 2011 March 11th earthquake and Tsunami was a terrible shock for me. As Japanese, nucleus disaster means more than anything. I have to have known how much it will be a serious, terrible and painful tragedy, especially as I had plenty of educations which came from nation historical experiences of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Not only the terrible disasters but　it was a moment to be aware of the rips of the society, consumer-driven future vision and its reality, as well as awoke to the terms of our age of modernity. By cutting useless-looking sensibility, slowly but radically, the society was allowed to join in the capitalistic race of nuclear development competition.

After this painful incident, I had a lot of chance to think about "happiness", which is not consumerism "comfortable" but inefficient, incalculable, almost nothing under the capitalistic context.
