Masking Tape

Masking tape (made from washi paper) that I often use as a material

is a symbol of temporariness.

The moment when this impermanence manifests is essential.

I am not concerned with static things—

long-lasting materials or motionless forms.

I find the moment just before things break,

when they are poised on the edge, most beautiful.

The glimmer of this single moment

is easily destroyed and lost in the end.
