Our New World (Toranomon) Our New World (Toranomon)

2023

人も景色も未来に向かって移ろっていく。
見た事のないあり方のステンドグラスで、地下であっても動く世界とその移ろいを表現したい。
そんな想いから、訪れた世界中の都市や新しい⻁ノ門エリアの風景を集めて、誰も見たことのない新たな都市を創造しました。
見る角度によって見え方が変わる効果を取り入れることで、無数のイメージからなるそれぞれの都市の歴史や、文化の多様性とその重なりが浮かび上がります。
歩みを進めるごとに景色は変わり、今見た景色は過去になり、明日見る景色は今見た景色とは違う新たな未来を見せ、行き交う人々に刺激や時の流れを感じさせます。
それが近代的な⻁ノ門ヒルズ駅と結びつき、新たな⻁ノ門の街とつながり、共存していきます。

People and landscapes change as they move towards the future. I wanted to express this moving world and the way it changes through stained glass in a way that is unlike anything anyone had ever seen before, even though the site is underground. With that in mind, I brought together scenes from cities I have visited around the world, including the new Toranomon area, to create a never-before-seen city. I incorporated an effect that changes the way the images appear according to the angle at which they are viewed. Countless images of each city’s history and its cultural diversity emerge, overlapping. What people see changes as they progress, with the scene that was just viewed fading into the past, and the scene to be viewed tomorrow revealing a new and different future, unlike what was just seen. The changes are stimulating, making passersby feel the passing of time. The stained glass images become a connection to the modern Toranomon Hills Station and a link to the new world of Toranomon, co-existing with both.
