Miyajima’s work is rooted in technology. He has focused on the use of light-emitting diode (LED) digital numbering machines, or as he calls them, “devices” since the late 1980s. These numbers in his work flash continuously and repetitively. even without references in any order The cycle of numbers from 1 to 9 represents the journey from life to death. where the ending point is ‘0’ or the zero point itself. which does not appear in his works . This theory stems in part from humanism and Buddhist teachings. As well as from his main artistic concepts: ‘Keep Changing’, ‘Connect with All’ and ‘Goes on Forever’, Miyajima’s LED figures are all in line with his interest in continuity. connection and eternity as well as flow and duration and space
