World famous Japanese artist Susumu Shingu sculpts the winds and follows them in search of a resting place, a wind-powered home, for his long, lifetime dream of Breathing Earth. He talks with nature through his sculptures. His lifelong dialogue with the wind and with water has given the wold uniquely beautiful works of fluid, unpredictable and ever-changing movement.
