As time goes on silently, what is fading away little by little yet still unbeknownst to us? The main imagery of this work is based on a four-leaf clover. The space is set up for playfully seeking the rare four-leaf clover, representing fun childhood memories with nice ambience in beautiful environment. Meanwhile. travelers can rest on the three-leaf clover shaped metal chairs surround the main structure, which is a four-leaf clover shaped bamboo house, to quietly receive messages passed down from the infinite ocean, sky and this island under our feet.
