簡介：
In Japan, there is a belief known as "Yaoyorozu" (the eight
million gods), where it is thought that deities reside in
everything in the natural world. The KAIJU depicted in this
artwork is formed from a mass of garbage and debris,
symbolizing the gathering of the gods to warn modern people
living in a society of mass consumption.
Additionally, Japan has a cultural concept called "mitate."
"Mitate" involves likening one thing to another and imagining
the existence of something that doesn't actually exist. Through
this "mitate," the Japanese have created many beings such as
KAIJU and yokai (supernatural creatures).
KAIJU were born out of unresolved anger and sorrow caused
by war, while yokai arose from a deep sense of awe toward
the overwhelming forces of nature. The KAIJU I’ve depicted
here was created by using the concept of "mitate," embodying
the thoughts of plants, animals, and the gods of nature in the
form of a KAIJU.
One could say it represents the earth itself, where the totality
of all things in nature has manifested and taken form.
