CONTEXT
A star flashes and twinkles after the explosion. Those stars scattered in the Galaxy repeat the cycle of reincarnation: explosion and birth. He spread out ‘Firecracker Painting’ by taking advantage of the explosion of firecrackers all over the canvas. He made a painting of supernova explosion through blasting firecrackers. The system of reincarnation that explosion creates a new planet resembles apoptosis. About 3,000 human cells die in a day and reproduced. He feels the magnificent universe and the macrocosmic human cell in common, which have a fateful cycle that everything must come to an end in order to be renewed. The paint left its mark of explosion power which blasted unintentionally and even the tiniest paint can be found far from the center. All those tiny blasted dots on the canvas is too minute to be captured by a pixel digital camera.
Explosion, death, and birth are in one united cycle. We shall never fear the death in order to be renewed. This is how human being is supposed to be and ordained by the universe.

CONTEXT
It’s about human sexuality. Technology and AI has been developed and human being started demanding simplicity of sexual desire. It becomes more easier to get information because of the development of internet and smartphone. Getting involved with people, talking, understanding and sharing each other create mental and time distress. People who wants to run away from those pain started breaking away from their communities. They rather choose to get involved with people in simpler way. They tend to prefer easy way of life to the importance of their existence.

CONTEXT
When a female of vertebrate animal goes into breeding season, it behaves sexually and it’s called ‘Lordosis’: a body posture to catch a male’s sexuality and stimulation. A male reacts its posing potentially and becomes sexually excited. Of course, a male doesn’t get sexually excited only its posing, but also every part of female’s body, behavior, smell, pheromone or a relative combination of these elements. Which part of a female does a male look at and get sexually excited? Her face, breasts, hips, or the whole body silhouette? If her face looks like a gorilla even though she has perfect proportions, or if she has a monkey tail, does all males can get sexually excited? I am going to examine these questions with a motif of Marilyn Monroe as a sex symbol. Japanese people have been attracted by American pop culture and also brainwashed at the same time. They also sexually long for ‘blond hair beautiful woman’. By painting its sex symbol with Urushi lacquer, which has been used for painting a sculpture from long ago in Japan, I wanted to feel the domination over it. A classic feeling that is produced by Urushi forcibly brings back its past tense and culture which the symbol has to a Japanese sense.

CONTEXT
Michelangelo Buonarroti Simoni painted ‘The Creation of Adam’: a moment that the Almighty God gives intelligence and the living world itself to Adam who is the first mankind on the earth. We, human beings, have used intelligence fully given by the God, and produced and developed all kind of technologies so far. Human being created AI with intelligence given by the God. Moreover, AI might exceed our intellect sooner or later and would govern the whole planet. AI could be worshiped as a god and we are going to face the day that it would give us the world like the Almighty God did to Adam. What is the admirability of humanity which AI doesn’t have? or Where is the borderline between human being and AI?

CONTEXT
A humankind observed by aliens. If I was an alien, I would observe ‘humankind’ objectively and express something through my art work.
Humankind started going to war and hurting each other by using ‘1. Weapon’ beyond a knife, a handgun, a rifle, preying and self-defense. Moreover, the arms and weapons industry appeared to create money through madness called war.
They created ‘2. Nuclear Power Generation’ in order to satisfy their desires of being rich or improve their standard of living, but they saw the ego of technology by themselves with their own eyes. Human being has been developed culturally and continue to contaminate the earth.
They created ‘3. Law’. They needed to. They couldn’t keep in harmony without standard rules. An order was created and they all need to continue inquiring about it forever.
They created a system called, ‘4. Money’ and has deeply attached to it and suffered from it. During the 100 years of their longevity, they are fussy about how much money they make and distressed. They also created the concept of poverty and wealth.
What is that gleaming protein block? They carry the organ called, brain, in their heads and it consumes energy all through 24 hours and keeps thinking something. What is that bright shining organ for? It seems it is a special organ that human being has in order to create: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Are there any better ways to use these actions? I would like to look forward to their creativity.
