About works / performance

Manami is interested in the relationship between natural history and human beings, and trying to investigate on the human’s natural habit, such as the desire for knowledge, and egoism, with a view of duality. She thinks that the paper objects used as a metaphor of the "Duality" are difficult to define both 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional. ‘Duality’ means that the two words seem to be in opposite positions, however the boundaries are vague and cannot be separated like ‘life and death’, ‘good and evil’.
