A story of a man who, after enduring countless torments of hell, comes to possess himself. I aimed to depict universality that feels real to myself and to Velladon by projecting it onto Trinitarian thought and Kafkaesque absurdity. The work was created while evoking mythology and history around the Roman Empire. The black figure is Y, the silver figure is N. Y and N are the same person, and by driving one of them to the extreme, the other breaks free of absurdity and comes to possess himself as one being. Compared with my most recent works, the darkness of the story and the worldview express my direction much more purely.

Commentary: I made this piece from the idea that motion graphics are not just something you watch by pressing play, but can also be interactive.

I believe that things that function interactively on the web, in games, or as installations can also be considered motion graphics.

NHK Minna no Uta, an animated work created in conjunction with the October–November 2023 song “Take a Rest on the Canoe” by Kei Owada and LAGHEADS. Aiming to visually capture the dreamlike feeling of being gently rocked in a canoe in nature through a song that celebrates that comfort, we expressed it by blending hand-drawn animation with water-surface effects created in Houdini.
