Inspired by Japan’s traditional concept of 'tenyō' (transformation), the sculpture symbolizes evolution through time and environment. Crafted from stainless steel, its reflective surface captures sky, sea, and passersby, embodying the moment of coexistence between humanity and nature. Takeda once said: "True transformation isn’t in form—it’s in the viewer’s mind." We recommend visiting at different times to experience the evolving interplay of light, shadow, and perception.
