Sensing the change of seasons
Mariko Tagami
The signs of autumn are gradually beginning to appear in Fukuoka.
In my house, in the cold morning and evening air
These days, my son sleeps without anything covering him, so I have to keep covering him up and then taking the futon off.
The 7th anniversary of Utsushiki's "Utsuroi" exhibition is finally approaching this weekend.
Two weeks packed with fascinating events.
Although it is presumptuous of me to do so, I have been given the opportunity to hold a small talk event, which will be my first attempt at this.
The theme of the talk was "quantum."
What do you imagine when you hear the word quantum?
The world we see
"Just as the words say, things change just as you think they will."
This has been scientifically proven by quantum discoveries.
It's not an urban legend, nor is it a spiritual story.
In reality, "quantum" exists in our daily lives.
At this time of year, you can feel the signs of autumn.
This too is a way in which we unconsciously sense the presence of quantum mechanics.
If we could sense even just a little the presence of these tiny quanta that are invisible to the eye but are so close to our minds and bodies, the way we see the world would look different.
I'm excitedly thinking about how much fun it would be to have such an experience, and am currently thinking about the content of the storytime.
It was my first day at work, and the weather was still warm and spring-like.
From the owner, Mr. Ono
"What do you want to do, Marilyn?"
The words he asked echoed like ripples.
It is connected to the "now".
I am grateful for this wonderful environment and will do my best to do what I can at Utsushiki.

As Oda-kun says, "change" is
The flow of time can be felt by projecting the present moment as a point.
"Quantum" cannot be seen by the naked eye, but it exists floating in this space.
It is a gentle world, with the freedom for each viewer to see and feel differently.
We hope that these two weeks will be one in which you all enjoy your own version of autumn.
