    Description

    The concept of his work is "affirmation of laziness generates vitality. Laziness and feelings of depression (= sloth) always accompany us, delaying our actions and making us regret them. But sloth is not evil. I believe that laziness sometimes heals our wounds, and melancholy is a chance to know ourselves anew. With this work, I would like to remind people of their own sloth and give them a reason to stop in their busy lives. This work is the "laziness" series. The iconic mask around the eyes is inspired by the dark circles in the eyes of animal sloths, and the white human seen through the mask represents the latent self of the mind.

    Concept

    朝倉健太は「Invisible Sloth（不可視的ナマケモノ）」をコンセプトに、怠惰や憂鬱の感情を可視化させ、鑑賞者が絵を通じて自分自身と向き合える作品を制作。

    彼は誰もがもつ怠惰や憂鬱な感情を、目に見えないナマケモノと呼ぶ。それは予期せず私たちに襲い掛かり、私たちの行動を遅らせ、その度に後悔を募らせるもの。

    しかし怠惰は時に心を回復させ、憂鬱な感情は自分自身をより深く知るきっかけになる時がある。一見ダメな奴のように見えるナマケモノは、実は自分を支えるもう一人の自分自身であると彼は考える。
