『自分が死んだ後の世界がどーなってもいい』
ある日、耳にしたこの発言に強い嫌悪感と憤りを抱いた私。
その理由をずっと探していました。
この作品、よーー~ーく見つめると、口をつむんだ女の子が現れます。
女の子の髪の毛に使われているカラフルな素材は、他の作品を作るときに生まれる重なりの集合体。
本来だったら、捨てられる存在。
そんな存在の素材に
『私を女の子の髪の毛にして欲しい』そう訴えかけられた気がして生まれた作品。
髪の毛って、死んだ細胞の集合体なんです。
髪の毛だけじゃなく、爪や皮膚の表面も死んだ細胞なんです。
死んだ後でも必要とされているんです。
今を生きている私たちも、もうこの世を去ってしまった多くの人々によって、存在できている。
「みんな、だれかの『一部』でできている」
そんな当たり前のことにも、気づきにくい現代社会を生きる私たちに嫌気が刺さないように
そんな想いを込めて作った作品です。
"I don't care what happens to the world after I die."
I was strongly disgusted and indignant at this statement that I overheard one day.
I have been searching for the reason for it for a long time.
If you look closely at this work, you will see a girl with her mouth closed.
The colorful material used for the girl's hair is a collection of layers created when making other works.
Originally, they would have been thrown away.
The material of such an existence.
I felt like I was being asked to "make my hair into a girl's hair," and this work was born.
Hair is an aggregate of dead cells.
Not only hair, but also nails and the surface of skin are dead cells.
They are needed even after they die.
We, who are alive today, are made possible by the many people who have already passed away.
We are all made up of a part of someone.
I hope that those of us who live in today's society, where it is difficult to even notice such a natural thing, will not grow weary of the fact that we are all made up of someone else.
I created this work with this thought in mind.
