Author's comment

I want to draw the line between mere imagination and solid reality.
I feel like I'm making use of everyday life, which is fragile, weak, and full of lies.

Judge's review

Here, by using materials other than traditional painting materials, such as tracing paper, as if they were layers of skin, he effectively expresses the wavering overlapping of images, taking a cue from a passage from Banana Yoshimoto's "Kingdom." It expresses themes such as the ambiguous realm suspended between reality and falsehood, and the danger that arises from this. (Taro Amano)
