On a 5mm thick, transparent fluorescent green acrylic plate, a part of the figure is UV printed in such a way that it has a thick and glossy texture.

I would be happy if you could take a look at the transparency of the acrylic plate and the mattière expression on top of it with paint and UV resin.

Thank you so much for visiting this work page. This is Hirose Sachiko.

“How can people who can cry watching movies and TV shows do terrible things to others without worry?”

This phrase simply expresses that humans are not perfect, that life and humans are not perfect like creations like movies and dramas, and that sometimes people often do things worse than “villains.”

My friend himself may have said it casually, but it's a word that still sticks in my heart and I can't leave it.

Inspired by these words, I thought of a story and created a work related to it.

I would be happy if you could take a look.

STORY

The setting is the near future where civilization has fully developed.

Despite differences in status, people are living comfortably.

In the shadows were people doing “work that people don't want to do.”

They are people who are no longer able to maintain their life activities in an ethically correct way.

They are ostensibly supposed to have passed away, but they received life-prolonging measures in an “ethically incorrect” method and lived doing “jobs people don't want to do,” such as “execution officers.”

The executioners were erased from their previous memories, made to appreciate a huge number of creative works produced based on “correct ethics,” such as TV and movies, and thoroughly instilled a “correct sense of ethics,”

Those who opposed it were taught that there was no value in survival, and they worked hard on their daily work “to protect peaceful days.”

One day, the executioner “Luca” picked up a book after finishing his work.

The title “The Other Side of This World” was written in that book, and it clearly described the execution unit to which she belonged and the girls.

“Is what I'm doing really the right thing?”

When she reported this book and her doubts to her superiors, she was kicked out of the unit.

The reason is that if that doubt spreads to others, there is a risk that they will not be able to take control of the unit.

Unable to live in an “ethically correct way,” she lived while regularly receiving “ethically incorrect” methods to prolong her life.

Therefore, if she is evicted from a facility owned by the unit, she will not be able to receive life support measures, and she will only be able to live for 49 more days.

Words overflowed from her mouth when she was evicted from the facility.

“How can people who shed tears watching movies and TV shows do such terrible things?”

Those words were either against a superior officer who kicked himself out, or against myself who buried people who had made “mistakes.”

She travels in a “peaceful world” with “Lili,” a monkey with whom she shared many missions.

Although it has a 49-day deadline, it was her first, last, and best memory.

ZHONGH-ICHI-ZHOUGH-TI-

What I have believed in is too perfect

In a perfect world

What is the right thing I've believed

I really think it's the right thing to do

... is that really true?

Pre-print data

Graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts, Faculty of Fine Arts, majoring in oil painting in 2018.

After graduation, he worked as a designer in the game industry, and now he is engaged in activities that cross the two fields of art and illustration.

Based on the concept of “an approach to painting that can only be done in modern times where the boundary between what exists with digital things and matter is blurred,” he created and presented paintings using techniques such as methods of outputting works drawn in a digital environment once, then manipulating them using drawing materials and various other techniques.

He has also worked on a wide range of works as an illustrator under the name “Hirose,” and has attracted attention as one of the artists leading the illustration scene, such as providing illustrations for domestic and international games, light novels, and popular works such as “Hatsune Miku.”
