I depicted in the Talisman, the scenery that Maruyama Okyo’s masterpiece Rainy-Weather Bamboo and Windy-Weather Bamboo is protecting animals from the forest fire to express the mysterious power of art.
Recreation is the sequel to Talisman.
Animals have recovered from the forest fire, and are recreating Rainy-Weather Bamboo and Windy-Weather Bamboo together.
I depicted to express that animals are understanding and thanking the power of art.
I want to create a parable of our modern society by referencing the animal kingdom.
In the animal kingdom, there exist social structures such as predator and prey, coexistence, and competition.
I aim to create a piece that knows no place or age by placing human society in this structure.
