"Trace" (2024) is a work that captures the natural beauty of the waterscape and rock formations of Okutsu Gorge, a scenic location, and reinterprets their shapes. Tateisi visited the site and used an iPhone to perform a 3D scan of the rock formations. From the scanned data, a rock formation located downstream, visible from the vantage point of this work, was selected, deformed (reduced polygon count) using 3D CG software, and reconstructed into an abstract shape. By materializing this form with iron and mirrored aluminum composite panels, the work attempts to visualize the inherent flow of Okutsu Gorge itself.

       The exhibition space is filled with the sounds of mountain and marine creatures. Various types of sound-emitting devices, such as horn speakers and vibration speakers, are placed along the walkway stretching from the entrance of the venue toward the artwork. When listening closely, the sounds of mountain creatures can be heard from the upstream side of Okutsu Gorge (Yoshii River), while the sounds of marine creatures can be heard from the downstream side. Though these landscapes are unseen, they exist beyond the flow of the water. This work invites visitors to imagine a landscape where the mountains and the sea are connected as one.

「跡」（2024）は、名勝・奥津渓における水景と岩場の自然の美を捉え、その形状を再解釈した作品である。立石は現地を訪れ、iPhoneを用いて岩場の3Dスキャンを実施。その中から、本作品から渓流を望んで下流に位置する岩場を選び、3DCGソフトウェアでデフォルメ（低ポリゴン化）し、抽象的な形に再構築した。この形態を鉄と鏡面性アルミ複合板を用いて実現実に再帰させることで、奥津渓に内在する流れそのものの可視化を試みた。

　会場には、山や海の生き物の声が空間に広がっている。ホーンスピーカーや振動スピーカーなど複数種類の発声装置が、会場の入口から作品へと続く遊歩道沿いに配置されている。耳を傾けると、山の生き物の声は奥津渓（吉井川）の上流から、海の生き物の声は下流から聴こえてくる。姿は見えないが、水の流れの先に確かに存在する山や海の風景。本作品は、訪れる者にそれらがひとつなぎになった風景を想像させる。
