■Work description/work description

It is a semi-three-dimensional work in which a total of 2 acrylic plates, a transparent acrylic plate and a mirror-processed acrylic plate, are inserted into a thick frame.

Both front and back are printed on the acrylic plate on the surface, and on the mirrored acrylic plate underneath, so it has a 3-layer structure.

In order to create this work, I was asked to think about it from a structural point of view and custom-create it from a picture frame.

The surface of the work has been painted with paint and UV resin, so I would be happy if you could take a look at this Matière expression as well.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

It is a thorough work in which a total of two acrylic plates, a transparent acrylic plate and a mirror-processed acrylic plate, are placed in a thick frame.

There are prints on both the front and back of the front acrylic plate, and the mirror-processed acrylic plate underneath, so it has a three-layer structure.

In order to create this work, we had a special order made from the frame considering the structure.

The surface of the work is touched with paint and UV resin, so I would be happy if you could see the matière expression here.

■Story/Story of the work

“I love this place full of unreality.

A round pedestrian bridge, afterimages of neon lights, and a large building full of sci-fi feel.

It's like a world where “that girl” lives.

But this is definitely a real place.

This world is full of unreasonableness that pierces my heart and continues to cause pain.

The world you saved is a world where there are no “bad people.”

A wonderful world.

Everyone is living hard under a big pledge based on their own principles of action.

Regarding sleep, I wish I was in the world you are in when I wake up.”
