Ami Miura × Satoshi Itasaka

Mankind has reached an age when genetic manipulation capable of being called as the realm of God is performed on a daily basis. At present, approximately About 90% of soybeans on the domestic market are genetically modified crops. Mankind has already changed many things on the earth, not only genes. The modern scientific civilization society evolved from the industrial revolution in the 19th century is just heading for ruin due to global warming and war? What we are living for? We would like to think about that through a work by visualizing the world where genetic manipulation has become a daily routine. Living organisms live for “preservation of better species.” In other words, it can be said that they are living for a better world. Now, we are moving in a direction to make the world better?
