One of the work themes of Hirose is "travel". Travel is not necessarily an escape from daily life, but it is an act of finding new daily life from travel according to the movement is shown. He is enchanted by the one with mobility and the one that always moves. The hint is concealed in the nothing one in daily life. "BLUE BOX" is a sculpture work with which various elements are blocked as if his desire became one crystal. A transparent acrylic box is a sky house and various works, sky photography work, work attaches original collage, and drawing, are supplied to this blue box of four step class that entered the inside. The work titled "Sky Chronicle" is a box which there were Lapis lazuli powder that it had used when renaissance painter, Giotto, drew the sky and also some Hirose's selected postcards. The buyer, who bought this work, resigters in the project called "to make travel to the sky", and the new work of sky slide mailed directly by Hirose is received four times a year by years of three thereafter and then finally it is put in the box. The BLUE BOX will be filled gradually with the ever-changing and moving sky. This work is completed by an act of transiting between the artist and the work owner.
