About Kosagi Island "Bio-Isle" Project
This is a project that aims to achieve sustainability slowly through art, using the metaphor of “homeostasis” as a state where a remote island, considered as a single organism, maintains constancy through energy conversion and independence from the external environment. Inspired by the repeating tides governed by the laws of the universe, the project focuses on self-sufficiency in energy, revitalization of villages, and regeneration of coastal seas coexisting with human activities.
