Water is an essential element for the survival of all forms of life. Water Piece was conceived as a response to water-related issues—privatization, access, waste, power, and safety—through a series of actions.

While access to clean water is often taken for granted in Japan, my own experiences have deepened my appreciation for this vital resource: living in environments affected by drought, visiting countries with inadequate access to drinking water, and residing in California as the state grappled with rapid aridification. These experiences motivated me to explore these themes through artistic expression.

To give form to this piece, I interpreted the Instruction I had written and set a personal rule: to consume water conscientiously, minimize waste, and engage in actions that would help conserve it.
