Jellyfish (Series)
DESCRIPTION
When jellyfish is translated into Japanese kanji, there are several ways to say it: sea moon, water moon, water mother. It's profoundly interesting to imagine how the people of the old time looked at them in the sea. It is said that they are plankton as a species, it is difficult to definite what kind of nature’s intentions or energy flow they live according to, they flexibly and softly beyond the limits of human imagination for living organisms, like alien.
The organically constructed body and the constant movement of the tentacles, which are intertwined like threads, bring the diversity of life forms to the depths of our mind, never get tired of seeing it.
