Necklace: Carrying Stones up the Mountain
2021
Kunisaki Peninsula Culture Tourism Promotion Project
Mt. Gion, Kunisaki, Oita
The Kunisaki Peninsula, which protrudes into the sea like a parabolic antenna,
has historically been a destination for a variety of cultures and objects arriving from all quarters.
I thought of this as I carried stones from Okinawa and Setouchi across the sea, from Hokkaido, and used them to create a circle on top of the mountain: a necklace dedicated to Mt. Gion.
My hope is that as people come here, as people climb the mountain, the number of stones will grow and the necklace will flourish, becoming ever-living.
