2020
2020 was the year of upheaval.
The COVID-19 infection explosion, the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics, and the various divisions and conflicts that arose as a result.
I thought it would be possible to describe them from the perspective of "reaction and diffusion".
A huge reaction, reminiscent of Neo-Tokyo in AKIRA, diffused across the entire screen of the 8K monitor.
As you watch the energy being transmitted, gradually pulling back the camera, various landscapes emerge.
There are thoughts and phenomena of various people, and this country and this planet are moving. I tried to depict this from a flat standpoint.
A small black monitor was placed some distance away, and I drew a red dot on it, which was an 8K scene scaled down to one pixel.
On the dot, I wrote "We are here".
