Introduction
Maiko Sugano made this “cave-room” with giant lauan wood and stones gathered from the seashore. She invites viewers to walk, under the belly of the ‘turtle’, into
the underground square room. When the viewers look out between the four limbs of the turtle, they find that their perspectives are on the ground level and they face
the same direction as the turtle does—with a view of the Pacific Ocean and the scattered landscape in horizon. Visitors can also sit on the top of the “cave-room” and
rest themselves on the edge of the turtle’s back to look at the sea or simply stare. This work enables people to see the East Coast from a different perspective, that is,
from the point of view of our mother nature, and observe the strength, vastness and beauty of the origin of life by going down into the earth.
