language.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Based on the concept of \"Invisible Sloth,\" the work visualizes the mental landscape caused by laziness and depression.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e He creates artworks that allow viewers to confront themselves through their paintings.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Feelings of laziness and depression (=sloth) always haunt us, delaying our actions and increasing our regrets. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHowever, I believe that laziness can sometimes restore the spirit, and that feelings of depression can be an opportunity to get to know oneself more deeply.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e I hope that this work will help people to rediscover their own sloth and give them the courage to take a break from their busy lives.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e The iconic eye mask is based on the dark circles around the eyes of a sloth, and the white human seen through the mask represents the ideal self that lies within.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e When a viewer stands in front of the painting, the sloth mediates between reality and the ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e [Exhibition history]\u003cbr\u003e November 2021 Solo Exhibition: \"MOGAKI\" (Daimaru Fukuoka Tenjin Store)\u003cbr\u003e
