Artist: Chie Kutsuwada
"Since I was very small, I have been escaping into a fantasy world, such as comic books, animations and computer games.
They were all readymade escape pods but as an artist I have started to create my own world that is a realm of reality and fantasy.
Everything in the world that I create as an artist is colorful, luminous and beautiful in certain ways. All the reasons and feelings that make you worry or stressed in reality are either invisible or transformed into grotesque but charming plants and creatures.
I want to encourage the viewers to explore my world and create their own stories. That is why the world I create initially looks beautiful and welcoming even though it contains twisted darkness within."
