[Staff Comment]
These retro, colorful works are made so the collaged elements overlap and seem to float up off the surface. I found bataboru’s distinctive way of expression and its retro feel wonderfully stylish 🔆 Rather than being flat, the works are built up from several layered sheets, giving them depth and a striking sense of dimension. Even the seemingly digital pieces are collaged into something adorable 🌜 (Fujinuma)
