This piece was inspired by albinos, people who have no choice but to stand out from the crowd due to their unique appearance, but are often trafficked due to unspoken prejudices and superstitions. This work is expressed in a girl who lives powerfully and beautifully, sowing new seeds of peace in this chaotic world.

The production period for this piece is 2 months.

First I sculpted the clay by hand into the form, then made a mold out of silicone and fiberglass. After pouring in the resin and casting it, I painted it in several layers to achieve a vibrantly colorful but still muted look.

A simple time-laps video of the painting process is available on Youtube." -- Akihito
