A story develops as you follow paintings, drawings, and sculptures exhibited in this installation at a large warehouse overlooking the sea. The story is based on a folktale called “Yomeo,” the tragedy of a fisherman and his wife in Suzu. The work questions what comes after the “sayonaras” that have been repeated here so many times, going to work in a faraway place, going to war, and accidents at sea. What do we encounter beyond the separation?
