The egg (dead garbage)

The oval shape, like an egg, symbolizes the shell of “correctness” that each person has. The beauty of its smooth curves expresses the ideal figure we want to show to the outside world. However, various materials are mixed inside it, and instinctive and sometimes ugly feelings swirl around, just like the inside of a human body.

The marks engraved on the surface of the work evoke memories directly connected to our inner world, like a belly button.

The title “dead litter” indicates a state where life is supposed to grow inside an egg, but it decays without hatching.

This suggests feelings that have solidified between ideals and reality that lurk within us, and essential parts that we have held in our own way without being able to express them.

Ideals and reality, beauty and beauty, life and death, exterior and interior—

I think our true nature lurks in places where they intersect.
