Heading  (2022)

The rotating, large white object, upon closer inspection, is modeled after the human form. The fundamental human action of “walking” is brought to life through its rotation, with the figure appearing to walk endlessly toward “somewhere.” These works originated from Goto’s realization, shaped by the experience of restricted physical movement during the pandemic, that humans are inherently beings of motion, constantly striving to move forward. The base of the sculpture is designed after a clock position (a perfect dodecagon), evoking the question: “Where are we walking now, and where are we headed?” in the context of our diverse and complex modern world.
