It is a two-layer work in which a picture is printed on a mirrored acrylic plate and a transparent acrylic box with printing applied on top of it is layered.

The front of the acrylic box is painted with acrylic paint, UV resin, and glitter powder.

We hope you enjoy the three-dimensional matière expression and the phenomena created by the two-layer structure.

This work is a work created with the themes of “magic” and “reality.”

When I was young, I thought “I can use special magic and make any wish come true.”

However, it's just a dream story drawn by a child, and we are living in reality.

Reality is sometimes harsh and cruel, and often gets in our way.

At such times, I gently place my hand on my chest and remember “magic.”

Actually, I can't overcome that situation using magic, but I can get the courage to face reality by assuming that with just my feelings.

I think I will continue to live with the help of the “magic” I dreamed of when I was a child.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

It's not that the magic has broken

I didn't start

I couldn't use magic

I'm a normal person

I'm in a reality that I have to face

So face up to what you can do now

I'm going to do my best to live

The surface of the acrylic box uses UV resin, acrylic, and glitter powder to express a materialistic matière.

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.”
