Kaguya-hime

Kaguya-hime
Papier-mache (wood, wire, paper, acrylic paints)
3'x3'x2'(ht)



this was inspired by my geekery, simply speaking. i think it goes like this: Japan, history, art history, old paintings (yamato-e), literature/folklore (Genji Monogatari, Tale of the Bamboo-cutter).

so here, a Kaguya-hime in ju-ni hitoe (12 layers), Heian period court clothing.

also, the project was Mexican Dio de los Muertos festival-inspired, thus the skeletal/creepy part there.

_{please don't ask why i don't have my real name in my name plates when it's supposed to be a real debut exhibition. haha.}
