This artwork, displayed in an artist's studio in Düsseldorf, consists of two lines painted directly on the wall. It explores the differences in the perception of time created by the linguistic structures of Asian and Western languages, as well as the spatial relationships that evoke the flow of time.　　　　　　One line, drawn horizontally, uses thick, viscous paint to represent the five hours and twenty-two minutes from midnight to sunrise, evoking the image of a river. The other line uses a more fluid paint, designed to drip and flow down the wall, representing the average time it takes to walk from the studio to the nearest station (eight minutes and thirty seconds).　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The space incorporates elements that evoke the passage of time: the duration of drawing the lines and the time the paint takes to drip down the wall due to gravity. This reflects the different ways novels are read in the West and Asia, particularly Japan. In Japan, novels are read vertically, while in the West, novels are read horizontally from left to right. When comparing the flow of water to the passage of time, the sense of time in Japan can be likened to a waterfall, whereas in the West, it can be likened to a river.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　This suggests that the perception of time is influenced by visual language. By engaging with the linguistic and cultural differences between Asia and the West, the artwork delves into how language structures might shape our understanding of time. This concept highlights the possibility that our temporal awareness is intricately linked to the way we read and interpret written language.
