Title: 《 my pig with snake #2》
Year: 2026
Medium: Oil Canvas
Size: 455 × 530 × 20 mm
Price: ¥93,500 (tax incl.)
Made as part of the series "mine". I paint the word mine, meaning "belonging to me", onto the bodies of animal figurines, and then use them as the motif for my paintings.
The pig and the snake are the animals that symbolize two of the "three poisons," the roots of human suffering in Buddhism: delusion, or ignorance, and anger, or hatred.

About the artist
暴力と幼児性を手がかりに、人間の欲望や憧れの感覚を扱っている。
動物のフィギュアに「mine」と記す作品シリーズでは、牧場で見た焼印を起点に、生体への支配や管理の構造を参照している。個体としての存在が記号化され、所有される過程を可視化する試みである。
