Water Mirror I - Bindu -
The primitivity of the universe, Bindu, is symbolized aseGod' here, deified by the frame of gold leaves, giving a distinct medieval, profound atmosphere.
The decorated letters in the lower part of the work are esoteric numbers indicating 1 - 10, which symbolize the 'integrity' of God.

This work can be a quintessential example of the one-sided frame series, depicting the harmony of god and human aspects.
The two dimensional circle became a three dimensional ellipse.

The Water Mirror Y - Explosion -
God and human beings reaches to the critical state, and they both exhibit an outburst.
The remarkable point in the phenomena here is that the human desire at last enclose the God's desire.
Furthermore, God's desire is depicted as a predictor of separation, which is represented in the small ellipse seen on the far left.
This work is a representation of the current condition of our age.

The Water Mirror Z - Fortune -
This is the last one of the future prescient works, based on my intuitive visions.
A void appears in the central part, and the nine figures surrounding it represents the planets of the solar system. Although, the earth is not seen here.
eThe earth consciousness' expands and flies apart, splintering into the universe.
The final interpretation of the work is left for the audiences' intuition, as those various figures are extremely instinctive.
