Story

Stillness and movement happen by the boundary line of the ocean and the land.... 5 inches deep.

[synopsis]

The boundary between nature and human, which is visualized by the wave splash.
The human who lies down on the edge of the only 5 inches deep surf.
In that scene, it can be reflected the human’s resistance against the nature.
And, at the same time, it can be also seen the sense of weakness comes from the powerlessness to the wave.

The wave that swallows the human.
The human who lies down as debris on the beach.
The wave unreels the armor of all the people;
Status, gender and age…
And the wave treats the human as a thing which blocks the smooth flow of the nature.

Yet, coincidentally, it can’t be denied the fact the human is also included in the cycle of the nature.

Integration and Resistance.
How to overcome the contradiction between them?
“WAVE” raises questions about the relationship between nature and human,
By capturing the boundary which is brought out by the wave splash.
