tayutaum
Graduation work of Namiko Ishidate at Tama Art University.
This is a dream of a girl who is imagining to be a bird. The title "tayutaum" is a combination of the words: "tayutau yume (floating dream)", "hakuchuumu (daydream)", and "aquarium". I want the audience to feel the physical sensation of flying in the sky or floating in the water.
