About the artwork
For this piece, I had the magical girl arrive riding a Pegasus.
At first glance, the white Pegasus soaring through the sky with an innocent magical girl is an extremely traditional and fantastical pairing. But with a single sweep of her magic wand, the Pegasus is covered in vivid colors and animal patterns—and, for some reason, its head transforms into that of a screaming bald old man.
I deliberately inserted the bald old man as the figure least suited to the combination of a delicate girl and a sacred mythical creature. Through this extreme mismatch, cuteness collides with vulgarity, and innocence with raw physicality, within the same image.
The transformation does not stop there. It spirals out of control, engulfing the men nearby, until even the fantastical mushroom-covered landscape is overtaken by a colorful, chaotic world of bald old men.
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.
