Author's comment

Through the intervention of copperplate printing techniques and my intuitive judgment, various information about the motif is dismantled and rearranged into layers of brilliance.

Judge's review

A copperplate print with an overwhelming presence. As the artist himself has said, the motifs are broken down into various segments, and the canvas is covered in an accumulation of fragments that fully demonstrate the characteristics of printmaking techniques. The amazing richness and brilliance of the black and white screen. (Akiya Takahashi)
