Snow Artwork "SNOW PALLET"

Hello,
 heavy snow continues in Otaru.Be careful not to catch cold. 

This time, I'd like to introduce you an ingenious snow-artwork "SNOW PALLET".

 It's created by Toshihiko Shibuya, an artist born in Sapporo,Hokkaido,who pursues the resonance of a place by his artworks.

 In this artwork,fluorescent paint has been painted on the back of objects, in order to draw out the vivid reflection through the snow's bright surface.The landscape would change according to  the amount of snow ,the sunlight and different heights of  the 
objects.
