Author's comment

Based on a photograph of a boy riding a camel in Mongolia, a country with a completely different climate and a place that seemed unlikely to be someone else's problem, I created this piece while exploring the relationship and position between humans and animals.

Judge's comment

Rather than relying on the image of a motif, he uses a unique technique to attractively express the feeling of ``the air rising up''. Another point of praise is that the beautiful surface created by heaping up the paint is not decorative. (Kentaro Totsuka [Director of HPFRANCE Co., Ltd. hpgrp GALLERY TOKYO])
