Concept

Shiawase Kazoku depicts a family with a color scheme in achromatic monotones. The motif of a family living an ordinary life is expressed using simplified animations and pictorial expressions. It has become commonplace for us to type "lol" in emails even when we are not actually smiling, to smile in front of others even when we are in pain, and to convey and create our own facial expressions as a matter of course. In addition, simplified animated cartoons and pictorial expressions are easier to read than the ambiguous and profound emotions of human beings. By painting human beings with simplified two-dimensional facial expressions in beeswax, which leaves rough brushstrokes, Kanai asks viewers, "What is human nature?" and "Is there any difference between the emotional changes obtained from human beings and two-dimensional objects?
