MATER DOLOROSA (2004) 20min

Where did my dear go? Why did my dear go out? Who wrested my dear from me?
Why did my dear encounter it? Whom should I blame?
Who was wrong? Why do they keep away from me? Where can I find my dear again?

Which way will I take, if I could pass the river.
Will I climb up?
Or will I get down?

Oh, I do nothing,
but am singing a song for my dear
and am wandering about on a riverbank without ferriage.

The word "gyoku" means in Japanese:
ball; jewel, gem; egg; beautiful girl or geisha;
one of articles to mark of respect for the Japanese Emperor.

 
A girl perfect, brilliant without flaw,
when she lost something, it starts.

Globular Garden (2005) 30min

A tree is breathing with his million leaves.
He drops fruits, scatters flowers or dead leaves, and emits the air.
All lives begin here.
Weeds, insects, lizards, birds or small animals are swarming around the tree.
Meeting, commigling, entwining, devouring on each other and loving.  
This wheel turns round again, again, again and again,
then it starts to have heat and to spark...  

The world is full of the spheres of breath;
breath of beings who are living on their ancestors, among invisible beings.

Born Again (2006) 20min


A girl standing on the street.
She is looking moving things in front of her,
though she doesn't feel existence any more.

She had thought walking on her mother's hand.
It's the cold extinction that she feels at the feet.
There is no blessing neither at the front nor at the back.

Despairingly alone.

Who will be sorrow when she is gone?
Who will know if she is injured?

Only cicadas are singing.
