■Work description/work description

The thick frame has a semi-three-dimensional structure with 2 acrylic plates with people and background printed on it, and a total of 3 layers of mirrored acrylic plate with the background printed on it.

Since all parts in the frame are painted with paint and UV resin, I would be happy if you could take a look at this Matière expression and the phenomena that occur physically.

146 ---- ----

It has a semi-finished structure in which a total of 3 layers, 2 acrylic plates with printed characters and prints, and a mirror-processed acrylic plate with printed , are placed in a thick frame.

All parts in the frame are touched with paint and UV resin, so I hope you can see the material expressions and physical expressions that appear.

■Story/Story of the work

When the pain I received from a real event was so great, I maintained mental balance by saying that even that pain, even my own existence, was a fiction that didn't exist from the beginning.

In this work, the sense of self-defense is depicted with artificially constructed interior spaces and figures symbolized by figures symbolized by artificially constructed interior spaces where the boundary between reality and fiction is broken, and existence and pain are diluted like information.

Attacks and violence do not necessarily take physical forms; they harm humans in information, perception, and relationships. This work visualizes such “attacks that have lost reality” and the dissociative perception caused by them.

[LIFE] has turned red

Well at times like that

Reminds me of experiments performed by famous physicists

All of these [Attack] and [Damage]

it's an unreal hallucination created by my brain

this suffering, and unreasonable attacks

Even my own existence

I don't care about everything, it's going to get better

I don't know if that's true

It doesn't matter at the earliest

This is

Even if it hurts and doesn't pay off

For me who has to walk

It's anesthetized
