Spirits in the Water with Cuban Artists This work is from the series called “Time in Water”.
The time for each LED has been set by the artists living in Cuba, which is an island floating in the sea like Venice.

In 2008, hurricane Gustav hit Cuba and caused serious damage to the country. Around 210,000 houses have been blown down. In order to help and encourage hurricane victims who had been in lost, artists stand up and take action; a group of 60 musical and visual artists headed by Kcho.

They went to “ Isle of Youth” one of the most serious damaged territory and helped people to repair their houses, to clean up the rubbles during the day. Then at the night, they held concerts or organized painting workshop for children to cheer up the children and the citizens. Other artists joined later once they know about these activities. As a result, there were around 300 artists who developed same activities throughout Cuba, and it is still keep developing now.

I decided to devote the exhibiting work(s) to those respective artists, when I learnt about their activities. Because, I believe that the greatest artists are not the artists participating in international exhibitions, but “human being” who encourage and give hope to the society and the people.

They set their heartbeats with full of their sprits into the time for LED, and I sealed them in eternal “water” and “time”, in order to preserve perpetually their brave soul in LED.
