Description: Responsible for the key visual for the LUMINE 2018 Christmas campaign, as well as in-store visuals, signage, and various animations for all LUMINE locations. The visuals and animations were developed around the concept of a factory that turns all the good and bad things from the past year into happy memories.

The work remains even after the artist’s death, continuing to shine and to influence people. Death, the afterlife, a life flashing before one’s eyes, and the work itself. These are the themes.

Filmed in my hometown of Gunma. I made this with the feeling that if I had stayed in my hometown and had lots of friends, this is the kind of life I would have wanted to live. It was shot using a SONY VX-1000 and digital cameras from that era, giving it the look and feel of around the year 2000. A UFO appears too.

BAO BAO ISSEY MIYAKE is a bag brand built on an innovative concept and production method that freely creates endless forms by combining pieces. Its triangular structure transforms the shape, bringing beauty, delight, and surprise born of chance to the user, while also offering practicality that functions in every aspect of daily life. In “Shape with a world,” the infinite forms that define the BAO BAO ISSEY MIYAKE concept are expressed through motifs inspired by various objects and phenomena in the natural world. Phenomena abstracted through the BAO BAO ISSEY MIYAKE structure are endowed with new meaning and beauty, creating a unique world. Through this process, the work explores the appeal of the organic, distinctive forms and movements generated by its triangular structure.
