"ETERNAL Art Space is a collective of Tomoyuki Soramoto, Saeko Ehara and Shuta Yasukochi. This eclectic mix of artists combines their experiences in fine arts, UI/UX design, the music entertainment world, laser light installations, and 3D art.

The collective strives to promote the dissemination of art and culture while developing the ""creativity generated by digital technology"" in areas such as electronic music and audiovisual art. Using the latest in projection equipment and sound systems, they aim to provide a unique aesthetically-infused experience encouraging viewers to immerse themselves in art itself, while surrounded by images and sound.

Projection, sound design, art and technology are beautifully intertwined to challenge how viewers see contemporary art and the environment around us."
This project “Hika-Rakuyo” is a Japanese idiom that translates to “scattering flowers and falling leaves” – and, metaphorically, suggests the transience of life. It is the inspiration for the installation Being and Nothing – What Is Not There, Is Actually There for You to See – , in which petals unfurl in the early morning mist, blossoms fall in the spring’s gentle breeze, and leaves turn into a riot of colors under the autumn sun. Under the spell of the music, the work presents the two elements – “Hika" (scattering flowers) and “Rakuyo” (falling leaves) – to remind viewers of the impermanence of life, in the most serene of ways.
