In collaboration with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), the complex and dynamic expression spun by the Earth's record from 300 million years ago to the present day. The lineup consists of 13 pieces using microscopic photographs of rocks.
Utilizing AIST's technical consulting services, microscopic photographs of rocks were taken with the cooperation of the Geological Museum of Japan. From there, they were boldly scaled up more than 700 times to the size of wallpaper. From rocks formed 300 million years ago to rocks from the time when dinosaurs lived, to rocks from new islands created by undersea eruptions in the modern age.
The fascination spun out with the memory of the earth is cut out from a microscopic viewpoint and expressed from a new angle.
