New Artwork
Body of Waves
As you walk, your feet sink.
This force is transmitted to the large, soft and flexible sculpture spreading across the floor, causing the sculpture to physically deform.
The force generated by your body slowly ripples through the whole sculpture. Likewise, the force generated by another person’s body deforms the sculpture, and that force is transmitted to you. Sharing the same sculpture, people influence one another through their presence and the forces they exert.
Countless lights continuously flow down from high to low following the ever-changing shape of the sculpture.
The sculpture here is not an object to be observed from the outside.
The physical properties of the sculpture itself become a medium that connects the bodies of people.
This sculpture generates its shape from the relationships between people's bodies, continuously transforming them.
Your own body and the bodies of others are connected within a single, continuous space through the chain of forces transmitted through the sculpture.
Evolved Artworks
Existence in the Flow Creates Vortices
Vortices are created behind people as they climb against the flow.
Although a vortex is steady, it is constantly moving and swelling like a powerful life-form.
Despite the existence of the vortex being maintained, the water particles that form it change from moment to moment. The vortex that is being seen now is created by completely different water from the same vortex seen a few minutes ago. The vortex, unlike a rock, cannot maintain a stable structure on its own; rather, it is created and sustained by the energy of water that continuously flows inwards and outwards.
A vortex looks like a life-form because life similarly consumes external energy and matter and discharges it, sustaining its ordered structure within that flow. Life is a miraculous vortex that emerges from a flow of energy in a continuous world.
Water is depicted as a continuum of countless water particles, and the interactions between the particles are calculated to create a three-dimensional simulation of their movement. The vortices create lines from the trails of these particles. The collection of three-dimensional lines are then cut out using what teamLab calls Ultrasubjective Space. In contrast to space that is created through, or cut out by, lenses and perspective, Ultrasubjective Space does not fix the viewer’s viewpoint and in turn frees their body. The floor and walls that the vortices are seen on do not become a boundary between the viewer and the artwork, and the artwork space becomes continuous with the space in which the viewer’s body exists.
Waterfall of Ephemeral Crystals
This artwork is based on an earlier work on a natural waterfall in the mountains of Shikoku, Waterfall of Light Particles - Deep in the Mountains of Shikoku (2016-2017).
Light only reflects off the particles of water that make up the waterfall. The shining particles cascade down creating a waterfall of light particles. The light of the shining waterfall illuminates the surrounding area.
In the darkness, the shining particles leave a light trail afterimage that appears to draw lines in space. From the combination of these afterimage light traces, the waterfall of light is born.

With Your Entire Body, Immerse, Perceive, Become One with the Art
teamLab Planets is a museum where you walk through water, created by art collective teamLab.
The artworks change depending on the presence of people, and the existence of the artworks is continuous with your body and with others. Immerse yourself physically in the massive artwork spaces, perceive them with your body, and become one with the art.

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 15, 2026--
Nest Wealth Asset Management has appointed Sean Tascatan as Chief Investment and Growth Officer, marking a further step in the firm’s evolution as it continues to develop and advance its investment offering, technology platform and client experience for Canadian investors.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261014592015/en/
Tascatan joins Nest Wealth with more than 15 years of experience in the investment management industry, including managing and co-managing award-winning funds. Most recently, he was Lead Portfolio Manager of Starlight Capital's $400 million Diversified Equities platform, where he oversaw portfolio construction, risk management and the allocation of capital across sectors and regions. He previously led a range of dividend-focused mandates at an independent Canadian asset manager and co-managed portfolios of $3 billion and $500 million as a member of the Equity Income team at Sentry Investments. He also served as a Portfolio Manager at BMO Private Wealth. At Nest Wealth, he will lead the firm's investment strategy and asset allocation framework.
His appointment comes as Nest Wealth moves into a new course, building on the firm’s longstanding focus on disciplined, goals-based investing and its role in bringing digital wealth management to Canadian investors. In his new role, he will lead the development of Nest Wealth’s investment strategy and offering, alongside the firm’s ongoing evolution of its client experience and technology.
At the centre of this evolution is a renewed focus on how portfolios are designed and managed, with Nest Wealth developing a new investment framework informed by institutional asset-allocation principles and adapted to the needs of a broader range of Canadian investors.
Nest Wealth is undertaking a broader evolution of its business, beginning with an enhanced approach to portfolio construction. Moving beyond the traditional 60/40 mix of stocks and bonds, Nest Wealth portfolios will include a dedicated allocation to liquid alternatives alongside equities and fixed income, with each alternative strategy serving a defined role as a portfolio enhancer, diversifier or inflation protector. The approach draws on principles of the Total Portfolio Approach used by leading institutional investors, where each investment is assessed by its contribution to the portfolio as a whole. The firm is also upgrading its investment platform and technology infrastructure, and is introducing a new mobile app and a redesigned client experience.
"Our focus is on building resilient portfolios that emphasize quality, stability and managing downside risk," said Sean Tascatan, Chief Investment and Growth Officer, Nest Wealth Asset Management. "We believe long-term investing means diversifying across sources of risk rather than relying on broad market exposure or chasing short-term results, and that discipline will remain central to how we serve our clients."
The evolution extends beyond the immediate platform and portfolio enhancements. Nest Wealth is also building the foundations for the continued development of its investment offering, with plans to explore additional solutions and strategies designed to respond to changing investor needs over time.
“We are investing in our people, investment capabilities and technology to build on the foundations of the business and continue developing the experience we provide to Canadian investors and meeting their needs in the midst of a new investment environment. This is about building on what Nest Wealth has always stood for while further investing for its next phase of growth,” said Georgios Lekkas, Chief Operating Officer, Nest Wealth Asset Management.
