About
This work aims to encourage each individual viewer to continue to explore the meaning of diversity within themselves through their own interpretation.
Diversity means recognizing, accepting and coexisting with different values, cultures and ideas. However, in modern society, diversity is often imposed unilaterally, and this can sometimes hinder true understanding and self-expression. Perhaps we need to stop and think about the act of searching for the “I” within ourselves.
This work provides a “door” and a “room” to discover and explore the diversity of the “I” that exists within each individual.
Visitors can re-acknowledge the existence of the “I” and open this “door” by answering questions about self-exploration and listening to sounds.
Through this work, we, as people living in the modern age, would like to find the door to the diversity within ourselves and continue to seek out the door to new diversity from there.

I provided support to the artist from the concept stage, and was involved in development direction, state and life monitoring applications, and the implementation of the door opening/closing software.
本作品は、個人の中にある多様性について、鑑賞者個人がその意味を自らの解釈で探求し続けることを目的としたものである。
多様性とは、異なる価値観、文化、思想を認識し、それらを受け入れ、共存することである。しかし現代社会において、多様性はたびたび一方的に押し付けられ、それが個人の真の理解や自己表現を阻害しているという側面がある。今一度立ち止まり、自ら個々の中にある＜私＞を探し出す行為そのものが必要なのではないだろうか。
本作品は、各個人の中に存在する＜私＞という一つの多様性を発見し、探求するために「扉」と「部屋」を用意する。
訪れる者は、自己を探索する質問と音の聴取に関する問いに答えながら、＜私＞という存在を再認識し、それによってこの「扉」を開けることができる。
この作品を通じて、私たちは現代を生きる当事者として、自らの内にある多様性の扉を見つけ、そこからさらに新たな多様性への扉を模索し続けていきたい。
