Naoaki Funayama BIO: I'm from the city that is famous for Mt. Fuji.
I really like that mountain, and dinosaurs as well.
Both have special meaning: "power", "greatness" and "specialty."
The work titled "X-don" means "tooth of the unknown."
With paleontological research the whole body of a dinosaur can be restored from just the fossil of one tooth.
I have questions about how that works.
Human beings can't know everything.
We can only work from one part by imagining a thing's whole.
Today's images of dinosaurs are one of the possibilities we can consider from a hypothesis.
The paleontologist presents just one possibility from the limited viewpoint of a selection of relics of the past.This theory has overturned.
“X-don” shows that which is larger than a mountain.
I am expressing one of its possibilities.
