Work Details

“Nagoya Port 16:45”

At 4:45 p.m., Nagoya Port is bathed in a soft blaze of orange light.
The boundaries between air, sea, and city dissolve,
leaving behind a lingering warmth of the day.

Tables and chairs remain, quietly glowing in the fading sun—
echoes of human presence, traces of time and memory.
Through layers of color and light,
the work captures the fleeting beauty of twilight
and the stillness that follows the day’s gentle departure.
