At the age of 26, I find myself face to face with my mother, who was also 26 when she carried me. Between us lies the five-month-old foetus that is myself.
Suddenly, I find myself contemplating my origins: the image of myself captured in an ultrasound photo, and the expressions and emotions of my mother at that time.
By employing transformative technologies such as AI, 3D scanning, and 3D printing, it becomes possible to transcend the barriers of time and space, and meet those who are not here but whom we long to see.
This allows me to encounter, touch, and feel my mother at the same age as I am now, and the foetal version of myself, preserved in a past moment captured in a photograph.
26歳の私が、私を宿していた26歳の母と対峙する。その間には、5ヶ月目の胎児の私が横たわる。
ふと自分の起源に思いを馳せた。エコー写真に映る自分、その時の母の様子や表情。
AIや3Dスキャン、3Dプリンターなどの変換装置を使うことで、時間と空間の隔たりを超え、ここにはいない会いたい人に会うことができる。
写真に残された、過去の瞬間に存在する、同い年の母と、胎児の自分に、出会い、触れ、感じる。
