Give me a heart that dwells in a soul," the princess said, looking up to the sky and spreading her arms. ...
A fable of esoteric Eros, based on the tale of worship of the heart goddess.
This long-awaited photo book brings together new horizons for Murata Kenichi, who seeks life and tames death!
Also includes "The Skull and Me."
========
It should not be forgotten that narrative is an important element in Murata Kenichi's work.
His stories are sometimes created under grand, pseudo-historical or pseudo-religious visions, such as Kannon, angels, and goddesses,
and various props, such as skulls, crows, penguins, frogs, and mushrooms, are cleverly placed as metaphors for the story.
It was probably around 2022 that the "heart" appeared in Murata's stories.
Murata's works, which had been created amidst the excessive conflict between life and death,
have acquired a symbol of life that is different from Eros.
However, the plants and mushrooms surrounding the model have a mysterious appearance,
while the heart exudes a mystical quality, as if it were a gift from heaven.
The way the model is connected to the heart by tubes is reminiscent of a pseudo-scientist's experiment.
The image still exudes a magical aura.
Please enjoy the signs of a new stage in Kenichi Murata's career.
