He is fascinated by the transitory yet intense beauty of nature's ever-changing, fleeting scenes. He finds the atmospheric optical phenomena contained in these scenes and reconstructs them through 'materials' and 'structures'. It becomes a space of light, creating a spatial experience that we have never experienced before. One of the characteristics of the work is that it does not simply imitate nature, but uses geometric forms to give people a different impression from the organic forms of nature. Another characteristic of his work is that he incorporates the forces of nature, such as the sun and wind, into his artworks, creating new scenes that he creates together with nature. Takatoku NISHI consistently faces the mystique of light, while at the same time keeping in mind the 'Atmosphere.' those drifts from the work. This is interpreted as the true nature of the unique qualities of space that cannot be sensed through paintings or video images. The Atmosphere is created by harmonising the work and the environment surrounding it. The artwork serves as a medium to bring the spectacle of nature closer to us. They also remind us of the events that take place in the here and now and the concept of time, evoking the beauty of a familiar reality.

Ripple Multifunctional Architecture by Takatoku Nishi Takatoku Nishi has created an architecture that allows people to experience the beauty of nature around them as it shifts from day to day. It is a phenomenon of light that is produced and drops into space by the forces of the sun and wind. This architecture is just a gimmick to incorporate the forces of nature; all it needs is the forces that are constantly occurring in the natural world.
