Along the coast of Naoetsu in Niigata, the horizon shifts continuously with the movement of tide, wind, and sunset. Moor the sky responds to these rhythms by creating a field of vessels that receive seawater and light. The installation consists of a series of shallow containers arranged across the shoreline. At high tide, the vessels fill with seawater; at low tide, they remain as reflective pools. The water surfaces mirror the sky and surrounding landscape, forming geometric patterns that tremble with wind and the passing of clouds.

The shape of the work is not fixed. Instead, it changes according to tidal level, sunlight, and weather conditions. The site functions as a structure that receives natural phenomena rather than controlling them. Local residents participated in cleaning the beach and installing the work, allowing the project to emerge from the daily life of the coastline. Through the slow movement of water and light, moor the sky reconnects the rhythms of landscape and human presence.
