LeoDaVinciWave(@LeoDaVinciWave):Noriaki Suzuki’s Toki no Tabibito (“Time Traveler”) is one of those sculptures that looks different the longer you stare at it. Two human figures seem to be breaking apart into horizontal lines, as if their bodies are being pulled through time. Placed near the historic meeting point of the Tokaido and Nakasendo routes, the idea feels especially fitting. I like that it doesn’t literally show time—it makes you imagine what time might look like if a human body could pass through it.
