  • Rita

    Exclusivism and accelerating fragmentation are rampant nowadays. Merit-based ideas force people to compete with each other and abandon the weak. This utilitarian view informs decisions on who to socialize with in order to gain the most benefit. The tendency is that if things are quantifiable, they are either valued or cast aside. How can we envision a better society and more fulfilling life in this savage world in which we find ourselves? The concept of rita might provide us with a clue.

  • Water

    The earth we live on is sometimes called the “Planet of Water”. Water flows through the oceans and rivers, of course, at times becoming steam, ice, or clouds, and sometimes taking the form of rain or snow, falling back to the earth. Water is a substance that is entangled with all elements of nature and society, and is deeply related to the theme of rita. In this new project, we will focus on water in all its multifacetedness and scope.

  • Population

    Discussions about population issues may be common, but they can be difficult to perceive as personal concerns. However, the themes of population issues are diverse, encompassing food, resources, environmental problems, and the aging population. Addressing these issues requires a multifaceted approach that transcends specific fields. This population project aims not only to answer the question, "What is population?" but also to explore, "What can we do with the theme of population?" By doing so, it seeks to reconsider population issues from various perspectives and make them more profound but relatable to each individual in our society.
