Comment

The theme of this piece is 'sacred kitsch'.

I express this by combining subjects of Christianity with objects of everyday life.

While feeling the charm of Christian artwork, I actively expressed the somewhat 'silliness' I felt when I tried applying it as a Japanese person.

I aimed to create a piece that embodies both emotions that seek mental healing and the grotesqueness of reality.
