Five works of marble sculpture and six banana trees made of woven rattan standing over two meters tall are arranged in a jungle-like space consisting of potted plants. Sone has created jungles from exhibition spaces filled with giant potted plants in the past. To Sone, the jungle is a symbol of a starting point that is the antithesis of man-made objects (White Cube gallery), chaos, a symbol of an as yet undiscovered world of the unknown.

The marble sculptures were made in collaboration with the stonecutters of the Chinese town of Chongwu, known for its stone masonry. Little Manhattan (2010), 2.65 meters long, 85 centimeters wide, 55 centimeters high, and weighing 1.4 tons, has attracted the most attention from amongst Sone's recent works. In order to create this work, Sone scrutinised aerial photos of Manhattan Island and other materials and spent long hours carefully carving out one building at a time, producing a miniature Manhattan Island out of marble. Taking up the bold challenge of sculpting the whole of Manhattan Island out of marble, has resulted in the white marble becoming imbued with an overpowering presence.

True to its name, the work entitled The Light between Trees #2 (2010) depicts light shining through two trees. Sone takes sunlight shining through the trees, the kind of short-lived optical phenomena seen with trees, the atmosphere, and other aspects of nature, and gives it a form that has permanence by using marble. Used since ancient times as a material for sculpting, marble is a material that can crystallise time, and The Light between Trees #2 expresses two opposite spectrums of time, the ephemeral and the eternal. At the same time, however, the artist also used the semi-permanent natural material to form Manhattan Island, with all of its man-made buildings standing row after row. These works of sculpture are then in turn placed within a museum amidst an artificially created jungle. By turning the artificial and the natural into a work of art that incorporates both in complex ways, instead of simply contrasting them, Sone prompts us to rethink what nature and humanity are. This is a unique exhibition befitting Sone, who boldly ventures where no artist has gone before.
