Concept
The concept of "inseparable instinct" (INSEPARABLE INSTINCT) is expressed in the form of animals that represent the instincts that lie dormant within people.
The instincts that lie dormant within us are expressed in the form of animals. The unlimited energy of childhood instincts gradually fades away as we grow older.
The unlimited energy of childhood fades away as we grow older. However, there are times when we become emotional at a moment's notice and act on our instinctive impulses.
However, there are times when we are overcome by instinctive impulses, such as when we become emotional or act on instinct. I depict such inseparable and wild instincts as the afterimage of human beings. I also aim to create works that fuse art, design, and picture books.
