CORPORATE PRIZE

Castle

  • Year:

    2024

  • Size:

  • Material/Technique:

The bag that she always delicately carries around is filled with her favorite anime DVDs, CDs, and books. When she takes out the coloring book from her bag, she starts to explain vigorously. The majority of her creations depict “castles,” inspired by the pictures of castles featured in her anime-themed coloring book. The main characters’ theme colors from the anime—pink, yellow, and light blue—are prominently reflected in her works. Using these three colors primarily, she methodically layers triangles and squares, applying color layer by layer, constructing her castles.

JURY’S COMMENT

From the perspective of the Sangetsu Group as a space producer, we appreciated the quality of the work as something that has a positive impact on those who spend time with the artwork in the space, while also fostering connections and experiences. For these reasons, we have selected it for the Sangetsu Prize.
