One of the meanings of the character, “息(breath)”, is “Rest”. When you feel uneasy or anxious, exhaling deeply or sighing deeply can be a sign that your body needs a break. Ikiiki is a work that aims to let you focus on your breathing and have a moment to refresh your mind and body in the midst of your busy daily life. Ikiiki visualizes breath through pinwheels. Our breath becomes part of the work as an actuator, and pinwheels provide various feedback depending on the length and depth of breathing. As one breath spins a pinwheel, the breath goes on spreading from one pinwheel to another. By putting your thoughts and feelings into your breathing when you blow a pinwheel, I would like you to release your stress, feel the connection, and feel present.
