WINGS (FANGS), 2013a/w

WINGS (FANGS), 2013a/w, 1239mm (repeat) x 1150mm, inkjet print on silk denim

I am an animal with wings and fangs, I concentrate on using all of my senses and freeing up all of my abilities as I open my wings wide and take off into the sky. I capture what is beautiful and alluring. I'm not interested in a safe hunt; I only want to grasp what works on my senses intuitively if it is risky. I want what is fresh, brimming with life force and the power to brighten up. Creating is solitary work; I go in tandem with those who are animals of courage and who share in the same solitude. Opening my wings of imagination wide, ferociously baring my fangs of the power of creation, I start to glide. Gazing down upon the earth, which is in decadent mood, I realize that even if there is no apparent answer it is only in the act of creation that a real answer will appear. After the hunt, having bathed my wings and fangs in the setting sun, I fly back to the promised land where my friends reside. To keep opening the door to a new world I've never seen before, and so that I can fly once again tomorrow, I put my fangs away and rest my wings, ready for the next fight.

私ハ翼ト牙ヲ持ツ獣(ケモノ)。
全テノ感覚ヲ研ギ澄マシ、アラユル能力ヲ解放サセ、翼広ゲ天空ニ羽バタク。 美シク魅惑的ナモノヲ捕獲スル為ニ。
安全ナ狩猟ハセズ、危険ヲ犯シテデモ直感ニ触レルモノダケヲ探シアテ手ニ入レル。
新鮮デ生命力漲ル光輝イテイルモノヲ。
創造トハ孤独ナモノ、同ジ孤独ノ中ニイル強者達ト行動ヲ共ニスル。
想像ノ翼ヲ広ゲ、創造力ハ牙ヲ剥キ、暴レ出ス。
退廃ガ蔓延ル下界ヲ見下ロシ、ハッキリトシタ答エガナイソノ世界ニモ、創造スル行為ノ中ニダケハ明確ナ答エガ存在スルコトヲ私ハ知ル。
狩ヲ終エ、夕陽ニ翼ト牙ヲ濡ラシ、仲間ノイル約束ノ地ニ還ル。
マダ見ヌ世界ヘノ扉ヲ開ク為ニ明日モ羽バタク為ニ牙ヲ収メ翼ヲ休メ新タナ闘イニ備エル。
