About the artwork
The starting point for this work was one of my favorite images, which I have used repeatedly over the years.
Set in an old-fashioned Japanese kitchen, the scene features grotesque ingredients alongside a strange woman standing beside them. Her expression, in particular, combined with the lump protruding from her head, gives her a striking presence—as though she has completely accepted this bizarre reality as part of everyday life.
Then, a magical girl suddenly appears and violently transforms this stagnant, distorted routine. The dingy kitchen is remade into a colorful hell overflowing with vivid hues and grotesque transformation.
I have always been obsessed with laughter, having written countless scripts for sketches and manzaicomedy—not as a performer, but as a writer. The performers would take my scripts and elevate them, interpreting them in ways that made the laughter shine brighter.
Yet within me grew a desire to pursue something sharper, stranger—laughter so radical it might no longer even be laughter at all. Perhaps no one else would laugh, but it would be mine alone.
This vision could not be expressed through words, nor could it be performed by someone else. It belonged entirely to the realm of imagination—unrealizable, until now. In my restless search, the times gifted me with a remarkable technology. AI appeared before me as a new kind of performer.
