The location of the work you're about to discover is a secret. To find it, visit "TAACHI" in Ryotsu Shopping Arcade, where you’ll receive a special map to start your journey.

The theme of this work is space debris. Since the launch of Sputnik in 1957, humanity has sent many rockets and satellites into space. Once satellites are no longer functional, they become debris. These pieces can collide and break apart, creating more fragments.

As of 2025, it’s estimated that there are over 50,000 pieces of debris larger than 10 centimeters drifting in orbit. Traveling at speeds of 8 kilometers per second, they pose risks to active satellites and space stations. While some debris does burn up in Earth's atmosphere, not all of it disintegrates. Notably, a Soviet satellite with a nuclear reactor once fell in Canada, scattering radioactive debris. Thankfully, it landed in an uninhabited area, avoiding human casualties. However, what if it had dropped in a city or even on Sado? This background enhances the message of the work.

To choose a suitable location for this piece, the artist researched often-forgotten shrines and temples. In this context, space debris parallels the feeling of being isolated in an expansive void. After a careful search, she identified that unique place on Sado.

Take a moment to consider your feelings when you finally see the work.
