In modern society, the world is overflowing with information. I think the value of information itself is going to go away.

In addition to it, we are also losing our identity because of having such information.

These work are portraits which motifs are celebrities as icons of information society, and their facial expressions are covered with a large amount of paints.

By using paints as metaphor for a flood of information, several coats are applied to disappear important visual information of their characteristics, and it makes them unique.

Hence, it is connected to reminiscences of viewers and evokes appearances only they can see.

Revealed emotions Wavering feelings Released thinking Clarity of the essence.

It mediates between now and past, and then implies guidance for splendid future.

I hope these work makes viewers sharpen their identity and becomes a trigger to see modern society as it is.
