Tower of Life

The Expo Tower was disassembled in 2002 because it had deteriorated with age. Moss grew naturally in the interior of the cabin 100 meters above the ground. The Ripened Fruit of the Future fell to the earth. The seed in the fruit sprouted and again stretched to the heavens. Was this Jacob's Ladder? The Tower of Babel? An elevator to space? Kenji Yanobe transformed the Tower of the Future into a new form.
