Sako Kojima’s sculptures channel all the pain, suffering, and heartbreak of the human species into the bodies of cute and cuddly creatures. Here is a description of the artists work in his own words:
“I use a variety of medium including sculpture, performance, photography and drawing to explore the people of modern society. At present I’m interested in the psychology of diseased human psychology for the civilized world, because it’ s the same as my pain. Humans are animals, therefore we get tired, sad, and go mad. I want to become a small animal, because they don’ t meditate, they aren’t thinking deep. All of my works are rather optimistic than gloomy. At first sight, the works appear unique and cute but after time the works show a sense of irony, pain, and sadness of the individual human experience.”
