Title: Penguin with a knife to fight for you
Year of production : 2026
Materials : mixed media
Dimensions : H100 × W150 × D150 cm
Description:
When people hear “monster,” many imagine something unknown, powerful, and frightening.
But what if such a being were on your side? I thought that would be the ultimate—both the best and the strongest.
The world is full of unfairness and things we cannot accept. Even so, we are not allowed to fight with knives. No matter how badly we are treated, as long as there are laws, we cannot directly punish others. While laws are meant to protect us, there are also those who exploit them to survive.
In this difficult world, I was inspired by the stuffed animals that are always by my side, and I created MONSTERS that fight for us.
The Penguin with a knife will fight for you.
