This work was presented at the exhibition "The Snow Show" in Finland, where architects and artists collaborate, and Miyajima collaborated with the architect Tadao Ando to present the work. Ando's concept is as follows

----------
ICED TIME TUNNEL
Using ice, an ephemeral and formless material, I tried to create a minimal and purified form, with a motif of continuous curved lines. The abstract concept, <sequence>, also responds to Tatsuo Miyajima's artwork, whose theme is <time>: from past to present and from present. The abstract concept, <sequence>, also responds to Tatsuo Miyajima's artwork, whose theme is <time>: from past to present and from present to future.

The collaboration, <ICED TIME TUNNEL> has been completed by combining a <sequence> of my architecture and <time and space> in Miyajima's work.
