Description

My work is not a "collage", but a concept of "Bricolage" advocated by French anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss. "Bricolage" means to reassemble known things together in a place that deviates from the original meaning and discover new things. The Bricoleur's goal is to collect and recombine the images that are all over the Internet, and to transform them into a new form that has a new meaning without the original meaning. I believe this is the modern "Bricolage". This work is inspired by the image of "a moth flying in the urban night sky.” I tried to express it as if it were organic like a mechanic. The figure wearing a gas mask to avoid inhaling its own poisonous scales expresses our current situation on earth. (A situation in which we have to protect ourselves from toxic chemicals produced by ourselves.) この作品は「都会の夜空に飛ぶ蛾」をイメージしています。メカニックのような有機的なような表現を試みました。自らの毒の鱗粉を吸わないようにガスマスクをした姿は今の私たちの地球での状況を表現しています。（自ら産み出した有毒の化学物質から身を守らなければならない状況）
