Monarch butterfly migration is one of nature's great mysteries. How do monarchs fly some 2,500 miles from Canada and the northern United States to Mexico? How do they navigate a route they've never flown and reach the same destination their ancestors once found?

Susumu Shingu is a kinetic sculptor from Japan, renowned for creating art that interacts with natural elements like wind, water, and gravity. Drawing from advanced technologies and the expertise of his era, Shingu produces works that resonate with the hidden rhythms of the planet. His artistic vision has been further enriched by collaborations with celebrated designers such as Issey Miyake, Tadao Ando, and Renzo Piano. Beyond his sculptural work, Shingu has also written and illustrated numerous children's books, all centered on nature, exploring themes like wind, water, earth, flora, and fauna.
