The circulating classroom
I cut only some land in the world and I am on duty to a bottle and drain it into the sea. I live as the self-sufficiency on the small earth.
A room of acrylic loaded with fertile soil and the fruit, the kind of the plant, is our classroom.
There are days I catch a fish or a gull, and plow the field. I eat the food which I stored up on the day when the sea is stormy. I eat fruit and the vegetables which I cultivated and the fish or bird I caught, With a motor working by a transmission model solar battery panel put on the inside entire surface of the acrylic, I filter seawater and make fresh water.
I plow the field on the day when the sea is calm and go into the sea and exercise, I read a book in a room under the soil on the day when the sea is stormy and stare at the sea a day and spend it.
It is a plain figure of all earth, that the sea dirty in oil, beautiful coral, the afternoon when the soft breeze blows, a storm to shake a bottle intensely. Learning in this room is "I am a small presence" I made this work with all such thought.

循 環 す る 教 室
世界中の土地を少しだけ切り取り，ボトルに詰めて海に流し，その小さな大地での自給自足の暮らしです．
肥沃な土と果実のなる木と植物の種を積んだアクリルの部屋が私たちの教室．
魚を釣ったり，カモメを捕ったり，畑を耕したりの日々．海が荒れた日は貯蔵した食料を食べてしのぎます．果物や，栽培した野菜，釣った魚，捕まえた鳥を食べ，アクリルの内側全面に貼られた透過型太陽電池パネルにより動くモーターで，海水をろ過し真水を作ります．
海が穏かな日は畑を耕したり海に潜ったりして運動し，海が荒れた日は土の下の部屋で本を読んだり一日中海を見つめて過ごします．
油で汚れた海も，美しい珊瑚も，そよ風の気持ちよい午後も，ボトルを激しく揺さぶる嵐も，どれも地球のありのままの姿．この教室で学ぶ唯一のことは「自分は小さな存在」ということ．そんな思いをこめてこの作品を作りました．
