Awa Odori by haku.mokuren_46_ - Japan (h-29.7cm x w-21cm)

Artist Profile : 

Grounded in the ancient belief of "kotodama," or he spiritual power inherent in words, Japanese culture holds that words possess the ability to shape reality. Inspired by this concept, I create AI-generated artwork paired with classic Japanese poetry, infusing each piece with the spiritual essence of language.

Artwork Introduction : Awa Odori, a traditional Japanese dance hailing from Tokushima Prefecture, is a vibrant celebration of community and ancestral reverence. This physically demanding dance, characterized by its grace and elegance, is often accompanied by rhythmic chants. For my artwork, I've chosen inspiring lyrics that encourage perseverance, and depicted a woman with a resolute gaze, suggesting a journey of overcoming challenges.
