Insecure Dog

Concept

People have a surface layer of emotions that they "show" and a deeper layer of emotions that they "don't show," and they create their own "image" while controlling their emotions. He creates works based on the concept of "human emotions," viewing them as layers. In the hearts and minds that exist in the forms that we show and the forms that we do not show (or do not want to show), such as the forms that people show (or show) such as "beauty on all sides" and "weathercock," and the forms that others want to see "as they are," there is a "beauty" in human life, such as strength that people have to survive in society and kindness for caring for others. In order to express this, we must be in opposition to others. In order to express this, he creates a sense of incongruity by placing a made-up smile (emoji) on the silhouettes of animals that live honestly with their true feelings, as opposed to people, and depicts the gap between the surface level of emotions that people "show" and the depth level of emotions that they "do not show" through animals as if they are mirrors. Through these works, I hope the viewer will realize the importance of recognizing the beauty of human life and the unconscious prejudice of judging people only by their surface level.
