Diagram collection about a place.
This installation is composed of various diagrams exploring the question:
"How are relationships between a human and a place built?"
I began investigating this inquiry through one hundred memories of Mogusa, a suburban area of Tokyo, which exemplifies the typical "placelessness" resulting from urban development during Japan's rapid growth. By analyzing and deconstructing environmental elements from these banal memories, I created various types of diagrams both two-dimensional and three-dimensional.
