The collection is inspired by both science and myth. While some amoebas are feared as destructive parasites, research reveals their vital ecological role in regulating bacteria and recycling minerals that sustain life. This paradox (threat and sustainer) anchors the work. Through sculpture, installation, and more; I reimagine these organisms as the architects of a transformed environment, reflecting our own struggles with ecological imbalance, pandemics, and crises of health and society.

Each sculpture is built around a carved wooden core, enveloped in individually nailed rye straw scales. The straw itself, rich in silica, mirrors the protective shells formed by certain amoebas for survival. Piercing the forms, golden rods interrupt their growth, referencing both a fictional discovery in the narrative and the ritual staffs of onmyoji priests used to seal away spirits. This interplay of science and spirituality, biology and myth, gives the works a layered symbolic resonance.

Crucially, every piece is tied to a character (an ordinary person of this imagined future) whose daily life intersects with the giants. Through these encounters, the works reveal how civilizations adapt, collapse, and reemerge in cycles, echoing the stages of our own history. These intimate perspectives bring humanity into the myth, showing how the monumental is always experienced through the ordinary.

In the end, Amoebas Realm is not only about giants and unseen forces but also about the fragile, enduring lives lived within them. It stands as both a cautionary tale and a myth of resilience: a meditation on the fragility of civilizations, the endurance of stories, and the hope that by recognizing what is unseen, we may live with greater awareness in the worlds to come.
