IKIRO

Takahiro Suzuki writes the Japanese word "IKIRO".
He does so every day since 1996.
"IKIRO" can be translated as "Be Alive" in English.
"IKIRO" is just a message from his heart.

I met Takahiro Suzuki in 2001 at the exhibition in the Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo, NL.
It is my feeling that trees have to do with being alive. So I framed the writing of Takahiro Suzuki into capricious branches of Elm (Ulmus sp.). You need not say "Be alive" to a tree.
