Flower Field

plastic bottle, acrylic tubing, blue LED light, wire, steel rod, washer dimension varies depending on the setting In the newspaper, I saw a photo of a “vegetable factory”. Tomatoes were being produced in a very clean modern factory. Large numbers of tomato saplings were planted not in the soil but in fertilized clear water. The scene was literally a “vegetable factory”. On the other hand, humanoids and pet robots are made to take care of human needs. These scenes were observed in many Science Fiction movies and books several decades ago, but today they are becoming reality. I wanted to create something similar that symbolizes our future life with an image of organic life. Real flowers and artificial flowers seem to be polar opposites, but there is a thing they have in common. Flowers in the natural world die and return to soil to nourish the next generation. The plastic flowers are also recycled and used to create the next generation. It is said that blue LED lights have some kind of healing power to make our mind calm. This work might provide you a moment of peace. 2008
