A mysterious seated figure inhabits the bench plaza in front of the new office building at the Tenjin west intersection, its head resembling a crumpled ball of paper patterned with geometric motifs.
Standing beside the subway entrance, this unexpected companion may become a fleeting friend to passersby rushing through the center of the city, its striking appearance momentarily interrupting the rhythms of urban life. Continuing through the site, the same geometric pattern appears across the wall behind, drawing the plaza into a fictional, stage-like environment.
