In conversation with Oishi Sayaka:
You may find some parts are organic motifs, while others are not. Some forms are imaginary while others are realistic. Guns, human hands, moss, and plates are mixed together. This chaos makes some viewer uncomfortable she says.
As an island nation, Japan imported foreign culture and transformed it into their own. They go to temple, shine, and church for different occasions and have no religious problem. In Shinto, they believe that there are eight million different gods in the world. In this polytheistic culture, bad and good, light and darkness coexist. And Oishi's work is rooted in this culture deeply.
