Japan that was my home country encountered a large-scale earthquake on March 11, 2011.Then, the atomic power plant exploded because of the tsunami, and it became a catastrophe to which it would not end in the future after several decades either.In Japan, there are little underground resources.
What energy should we be going to use in the future?
The iron tower of the work is scenery of the oil rigs of LA.? The building of the dome at the center of the work is an atomic bomb memorial in Hiroshima. Japan became the atomic-bombed nation of two times due to the war and the earthquake.The butterfly means the reproduction, so this butterfly is wishing the reproduction of Japan.
This art work’s naming is “The butterfly dream”.
“The butterfly dream" is a dream that Chinese philosopher's Zhuangzi had.
