Space-time Crystals was the theme set at the beginning of her creation, inspired by the automobile industry empire established by Mr. August Horch in 1899, and his pioneering and enterprising spirit. As the carrier of the development and evolution of The Times, the car condenses the crystallization of human wisdom across the century, and writes meaningful in the movement of time and space.
Therefore, Daishi hopes to convey remodeling and evolution with "the eternal crystallization of time and space." Transforming invisible thoughts and spirits into tangible objects.
At present, this work and the creations of 11 other artists are currently presented in Château de La Colle Noire, once Christian Dior’s private estate in southern France, and it was opened to the public for the first time from October 15th to November 1st. .

If the copper color she has studied in recent years is copper’s skin, the "crystal" is its skeleton. The extension from two-dimensional to three-dimensional form is the continuation and advancement of its growth research, and also its further exploration of the method of "collaborative creation between human and nature". This secret research, which was experimented in 2017 but has not been made public, began to release some strange ideas and imagination with this creation.

Daishi used waste electric wires, an urban mineral that represents industry, as raw material. After stripping and shaping, she uses a technique known to be flawed in electrolytic alchemy to grow crystalline flower buds that look like plants. In the change of time and space, the wire seems to "return" to the original state of matter in nature, and at the same time, a new life has evolved: space-time crystallization.

Each unique "crystal" is picked and harvested and then loaded into the wheel of time for flight.

These time crystals, like "flying seeds", are transformed into body accessories: cufflinks and neckchains in the 18mm diameter miniature space, which are carried by people to spread the energy of remodeling and evolution.

Falling, penetrating, flying, they continue to sow and grow in the world, solidifying in the glass like water.
