Inspired by communication tools that inherently embrace “imperfection,” such as flag signaling and string telephones, the work seeks to reconsider the value of human-like dialogue and “creative ambiguity” that tends to be diminished within contemporary communication environments structured around immediacy and visibility. Through encounters with others, participants engage with what cannot be fully articulated in words and with emotions that are often overlooked, prompting a reexamination of how communication takes place.

This project explores how misunderstanding, delay, and partial transmission—elements often regarded as failures within efficiency-driven communication—can instead participate in the formation of relationships. Using the layered histories of communication and exchange embedded in the site of Yokosuka as a point of reference, the work reframes mutual understanding not as a goal to be achieved, but as an ongoing process.Description text goes here
