in the sky [S] / Koichi Futatsumata

The withered branches are caught on the lower branches and sway to and fro. I felt a new beauty in the danger and balance of the situation created by such coincidence.
"in the sky", born from such interest and creativity, is sure to enrich your space.


Branches fall and tangle with the ones below, gently swinging in the air.
I felt a kind of beauty, within the fragile balance a coincidence can create.
My interest towards this kind of beauty gave birth to the "in the sky", an object which shall frame the space with richness.








This work uses a very simple idea, simple materials, and few components to enrich the space.
Beyond the ephemeral presence, the question of what richness is can be seen.
