About Pai イラストレーションシリーズ

『Pai』は、孤独をテーマにした4点のデジタルイラストレーションによるシリーズである。本シリーズは孤独を終わりのないループとして描き、単一の経験ではなく複雑な状態としての感情を提示している。線、色彩、フォルムを用いて、孤立感とつながりへの願望を表現。豊かな色彩と緻密な具象的要素が物語性を担っている。イラストレーションはタブレット上のデジタルペインティングアプリケーションを用い、2048×2048ピクセルのサイズで描かれた。本作は、パンデミック下で減少した人と人との接触に応答するものである。ギャラリー向けのプリント作品と、オンライン展示向けのデジタル版が計画されている。
