What should have been far away,
If you tear down the wall,
We were always side by side.

In the two back-to-back spaces, like sisters, a brown bookcase and a staircase are quietly housed. They can be attached or detached as desired, and when taken out, a beautiful cutout is left behind in the white building.MostWhat was important was,Back to backIn between was a wall that seemed to separate the two sides.

Boxes have always been the motif of my work, but I suddenly became interested in the existence of "walls." Even in a closed box, the surfaces that are far apart in a flat development diagram become side-by-side when actually assembled. For example, the pantry and library in a house may be connected by a corridor, but in reality they are next to each other with only a single wall between them. I thought it was interesting that things that we thought were far apart were actually very close to each other, separated only by a wall. This is similar to the process of thinking and cognition in the mind.

--Koizumi Aya

This work focuses on the characteristic of box making that objects that are far apart can be placed side by side when assembled into a three-dimensional object, and is a masterpiece that most succinctly expresses Aya Koizumi's poetic sensibility and contemplation.

Novalis also said, "Everything visible is attached to the invisible, everything audible to the inaudible, everything sensible to the insensible. Perhaps everything thinkable is attached to the unthinkable.It's probably attached to it."
