This work is a music video themed around the conflict of the gap between public image and reality. Based on the common situation illustrators face—“comedic or gimmicky drawings get more attention, but I want people to see my serious work”—it visualizes both the momentum and the chaos with a social media-like tempo and an information-overloaded screen composition. This work portrays, with unfiltered intensity, the moment when the exhilaration of going viral clashes with the honest feelings behind creation.

This work emerged from an experiment in using programming languages to decompose and reconstruct the pixels of an image. While exploring the possibilities of new forms by incorporating a variety of perspectives and the ideas of overlaying and shifting, I also discovered colors that had been there but unseen, and shapes in the process of transformation. This series of animations also carries the message that people can be reborn again and again. * Produced for the satellite exhibition of the Yebisu International Festival for Art & Alternative Visions (the photographs are from the Yebisu area in January 2024). * Four photographic animations are connected using the same algorithm.
