Theme «Head»


The «Head» theme is an expanding self-portrait. Many artists have created self-portraits, and the head was often used as a motif. I have described the «Head» theme with the myth of Narcissus. Most of us consider Narcissus a model of complacency. However, Narcissus' consideration of himself is interpreted as an act of self-awareness and awareness between the «I» and the world.


The «I» stares at the moving water, and the view is fixed on the continuing variability. This view grabs one's own ego.


I try to emphasize the people who are in the wave of life and death. From this I combine the figure on a changing, unfixed background, like the water or the air.
