This work explores the relationship between the human brain and the history woven through human experiences. Culture and history are intertwined through human experiences and their memories. People have shared their experiences through oral tradition, written texts, or art, passing history down to future generations. This information is stored in the receiver's memory and eventually disseminated again through communication. In this way, culture and history are transmitted across time, mediated by the human brain, while also being influenced by language in the process of communication.

The hypothesis of "Linguistic Relativity," which posits that "human thought is influenced by language," was proposed in the early 20th century. Based on this hypothesis, the relationship between language and thought has been the subject of research in neuroscience. Many studies suggest that language and thought are closely interconnected and that they also have an indirect impact on the transmission of history.

In this work, I embedded a passage from French philosopher Blaise Pascal's "Pensées," which famously states, "Man is but a thinking reed," into a cube that symbolizes the brain. Additionally, I incorporated historical materials related to Kameyama City in Mie Prefecture, as well as the history of the exhibition site, "Kato Family Longhouse Gate and Storehouse." This project also emphasizes collaboration with local businesses; I received wax materials from Kameyama Candle Co., founded in 1927. By connecting each box with thread resembling candle wicks, the work expresses the relationship between individual brains and thoughts, as well as the transmission of knowledge through communication.
