Artist’s Statement

When people see death, it is usually associated with sorrow and so they are afraid to deal with it. Other than that, same feeling wouldn't be expressed to those which is not as humanand serious like the story here, data. Therefore, this artwork uses the story of data to highlight that death is just part of the process of life. If you view from another perspective, isn't it how the nature goes?
