The triptychs and diptychs which we see very often in art museums today can't be moved when those are exhibited to keep them from destruction. After knowing this old style of traditional painting, the more I try to imagine how they move, the more I interested in the style of triptychs and diptychs which expose its secret inside story. So finally, I decided to make one filled with my world and exhibit in our school's exhibition.

On the front panels of the triptych, there are two figures. The left one symbolizes any existances who are admired by people. Also, right one symbolizes a human who sometimes could be enshrined or be a saint. Thus, those two paintings explain both "holy" existance and us are baring holiness in inside of our mind.
The animal-headed figures inside of the triptych are symbolize people who have difference among their thought and cultural backgrounds such as the holy existance which was on the front left. Both horse-headed and dog-headed are showing their cultural difference by their different foods but as the other animal-headed figures gathering to the light which means peaceful and calm world, they are also the ones who are chasing it.


美術館を訪れるとよく見かける祭壇画は、今こそ保存のために固定されて美術品の一つとして展示されているが、かつては信仰ある人々によって彼らの空間の中でも最も重要なところに安置されていたはずである。私はこのような「祭壇画」の簡単に見かけが変わり、同時に内に秘めた物語を展開する性質に大変興味を抱き、実際に近頃自らの考えることを元に私の世界の祭壇画を製作するに至った。

祭壇画の外側に描かれているのは、羊頭で表された神と人間である。神は崇高な存在として多くの人間に信じられているが、その人間もまた、よき行動から聖人となり、人々に崇められることがあるように、内に神聖性を秘めている。
内面の人間の獣頭は、神の頭部が羊で表されたように、いろいろな宗教、人種、文化的背景による人々の思想の違いである。左右の馬頭と犬頭は園食べ物の相違で宗教的に考え方や習慣の違いがあることを表すが、しかし中央で車座に座る者たち同様、文化的背景の違いにこだわらず、光が表す平和で安泰な世界を実現させる精神を追い求める霊でもある。

Very interesting concept and beautiful work. Your use of lighting and jewel tone colors is very striking and you have achieved a nice Old Masters appearance with your work. Beautiful and I hope you received a lot of praise when it was exhibited!

Sorry, I messed up the last comment with "The Stormy Night".
Indeed I love old masters so much that I made a trip to Netherlands and Belgium to see Flandren masters' works! However, my ability is still low to get praises...
