Original artwork description:

Tokyo’s vending machines as gentle symbols of everyday life—small, glowing boxes that seem to invite quiet moments of pause. Just like Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, which captures a feeling that’s both ordinary and strangely magical, Girl with a Vending Machine holds a kind of quiet power.

By offering smaller scale vending machine as a backpack, Sipkin change the urban scale into something more personal and human, transforming speed into stillness, and routine into something a little more magical.
