cosystems' lives. In fact, many other animals and plants have lost their habitat. But I found the possibility of change in the image I saw. I designed a habitat that could give them new possibilities. The rectangular shape of the building forest was designed to be tangled like a tree root, functioned as a passage, and worked to make the threads feel like fine roots.

I usually work using eco-friendly leather. Because I hope that the process of my work can coexist with the environment even a little bit. We use laser cutting or 3D modeling to minimize throwaway parts, and collect and reuse small leathers that are thrown away. Dynamic_rt used eco-friendly leather and leather that was avoided and thrown away, and instead of using artificial glue, they connected the pieces with cotton yarn and bead wax.

I think coexistence is something that we should aim for and think about not only for the ecosystem but also for someone who can influence the future of arts.

dynamic_rt is a work that started with the sentence “The flapping of the wings of a small butterfly towards coexistence”.
Ecosystems are affected by and affected by all living things. The photograph that became the motif of the work was an insect or marine life using discarded plastic waste as a house. The act of using and discarding by humans causes changes not only in human life but also in the lives of other ecosystem layers. In fact, many non-human plants and animals have lost their habitat. But I saw the potential for change in the images I saw. I made habitats to give them new possibilities. The rectangular shape of the building forest was designed to be intertwined like tree roots, functioning as a passage, and the threads felt like fine roots.
I mainly work with environmentally friendly leather. Because I want my work process to be able to coexist with the environment even a little bit. I use laser cutting or 3d modeling to minimize the discarded part, and collect and reuse small pieces of discarded leather. dynamic_rt uses eco-friendly leather and leather that has been avoided and discarded, and instead of using artificial adhesives, cotton yarn and beeswax are used to assemble the pieces.
I think that coexistence is something that needs to be pursued and pondered in the future considering someone who can influence not only the ecosystem but also the future of crafts.
