Japanese contemporary artist Uematsu Keiji (1947-), internationally acclaimed for his sculptures and installations, explores the structures of the world—nature, the Earth, and the universe—and our existence within it, along with their interrelationships. From his conceptual works in the 1970s to his more recent installations of outdoor sculptures both in Japan and abroad, Uematsu has consistently used materials such as wood, stone, cloth, and metal to alter space, visualising universal forces such as gravity and attraction, and questioning our relationship with the world. In 1988, he was chosen to represent Japan at the 43rd Venice Biennale.

Through the flexibility and strength of wood as a natural material, this work visually demonstrates how gravity acts on the entire piece. The wood symbolises the cycle of life as it grows by defying gravity, then decays and returns to the Earth under gravity’s pull. Introducing this universal nature into his work, the artist utilises the natural shapes and curves of the wood to embody the tension and balance caused by gravity. While simultaneously adhering to gravity, this exploration of how wood harmonises with nature offers a serene experience that invites viewers to contemplate the coexistence of nature and the passage of time.
