In this context, the shapes of circles and spheres are considered minimalist in the Western art scene, and in and of themselves express nothing more than materiality. Ann calls this cell-like and space-like world "the world of circles," in which she depicts imaginary creatures. Each of the fictional creatures is inspired by current issues that exist on the earth today. The round creature with a large mouth and many eyes in this work is called Pota, which comes from the Japanese word for the sound of water falling drop by drop, Pota, Pota. Because it can create and store clean water in its body, Pota can go to places where clean water is scarce in the round world and provide water. Currently, 844 million people around the world (one in nine) do not have access to safe water, and the number is still growing.
Pota brings current issues to people around the globe. This work is painted with acrylic paint on cardboard. By painting on cardboard, the work has a sense of simplicity.
