    Description

    Optimism is a very interesting property. I think that once you feel that everyone in life needs it, but becoming optimistic is, in a sense, a fear within yourself It is interesting to note that depending on the viewer, optimists can be both dangerous fools and brave heroes. This is a color collage / object made of the same colored paper, one of which is taken upside down and the material is pulled in the opposite direction by gravity. The upside-down appearance of him seems to be in a difficult situation or in a difficult position. In addition to the illustrations of the man, his body is made of trees, bushes, animals, stones, etc., and is made to be visible on the landscape of the island. , Causing a storm on the island, in which case the direction of the wind is changed by the force of irreversible gravity, and as a metaphor it represents a natural disaster that can not be helped by our power. The lightness of optimism, and by expressing this collage in a cheerful atmosphere, created something that made humans and our everyday drama smile and feel lighter by that. Mankind's existence sometimes seems to be sad and fun, with the only option to laugh and stop being uplifted, thinking that it is just like optimism, making a portrait of that mankind Was.

  • About this artist

    Concept

    Eiko Ishizawa, who had been questioning the common sense of nature that has taken the destruction of nature from childhood, explored the relationship, boundaries, and balance between nature / abstract and cultural civilization / concrete using versatile materials. We are exploring other realities that are different from the current trends in society.
    Ishizawa, like a film director, instructs various materials, gravity, and air to play tentatively assumed roles, but the actor's personality and ad lib are exhibited in the process, and the script is updated . The abstract diagram made up of the coexistence of Ishizawa and the performers is also a diagram that embodies that everything exists in relationships and dependencies with other things. Ishizawa's work, which has a spirit of loving and enjoying the freedom found through nature, inserts an abstract perception into everyday life with humor.
