「際をたもつ」
私たちの目の前には、人が関わりを持つことで現れた線がたくさんあるように思う。
人が作り出した物の輪郭があり、物を置くと境目が現れる。
人はどんな思いでなにを考えて物をつくり物を使い、続いていく日々の中でなにを意識しているのか。
輪郭・境目としての線を辿ってみる。
見えているものを一つ一つ区別し、欠けやへこみといった状態や位置関係を確認していく。
人が行動した跡を見落とさないように、目の前の現象をより細かく見つめることができる。
無造作に積み重ねられた袋や壁をつたう配線。
普段何気なく目にしている現象は、人が生活をしているからこそあるものなのだと気がついていく。
生活をする人の存在を確かめるように、辿った線をたもち続ける。

keeping the outlines
I feel that countless lines exist before us—lines that have emerged through human interaction with the world.
There are the contours of things people have made, and when an object is placed somewhere, a boundary appears.
What thoughts and intentions guide people as they make and use things? What do they hold in mind as they move through the continuity of everyday life?
I follow these lines as contours and boundaries.
By distinguishing what is visible one element at a time, I examine conditions such as gaps and dents, as well as the relationships between objects and their positions. In doing so, I am able to look more closely at the phenomena before me, careful not to overlook the traces of human action.
Bags piled carelessly on top of one another. Cables running along a wall.
Gradually, I become aware that these ordinary scenes—so easily taken for granted—exist because people are living their lives.
As if confirming the presence of those who inhabit these spaces, I continue to hold and follow the lines I have traced.
