Okinawa possesses numerous sacred sites alongside its magnificent natural landscapes. Places called utaki function as spaces connecting people, nature, and the gods. Since ancient times, people have expressed gratitude for being sustained by nature and offered prayers within these environments.
RED DOT(BIO) is composed so that a mysterious entity governing nature and the cycle of life circulates throughout the entire entrance space. It expresses an endless cycle of continuous decomposition and reconstruction.
DOT imagines the slow growth of plants and the process of sedimentary layers forming, drawn by human hands. The structure, imbued with fluctuation through the body, traverses micro and macro perspectives. Individual existences interact with each other, and their continuity connects to a larger existence.
