Original artwork description:
This is a Modern Relic which explores of cultural juxtaposition— Japanese/ Italian art traditions, modern consumerism, and the innocence of childhood. The character at the center, modern representation of Renaissance Madonna, wears a stylized samurai helmet, painted with contemporary graffiti textures and vivid colors.
On the figure's back, a vending machine—an unmistakable icon of modern Japan—is seamlessly integrated into a traditional kimono-clad form. The vending machine represents the commodification of culture and the weight of hyper-modernity that today's youth silently carry. The character also cradles a plush, cat-like toy reminiscent of Hello Kitty—another globally recognizable symbol of Japanese pop culture.
