Once boxes were wrapped in a gift specification, they come to contain fantasies and dreams. Knowing that valuable things are hidden inside, they are also wrapped with thin cloths and papers to be even more erotic, and could be a fetish used in a ritual to damage the opponent with a loan under the name of a gift. Gift boxes of such a meaningful presence is worth enough to be a painting motif.  They are the gift boxes with an irresistible charm that makes you want to undress them.  Also, I added silver and gold paper foils that reminds me of the burial goods of the grave. Especially the golden color, which symbolizes drops of the sun, is the perfect decoration to encourage a depressed, zombie-like person. I drew this as a gift box for zombie-like myself.

箱はプレゼント仕様に包装された途端、幻想や夢をも内包します。中に貴重な物が入っていることを承知で、更に薄い布や紙で見えなくして色気を増し、贈与という名の貸付で相手にとどめを刺す儀式に用いる呪物となります。それだけ濃厚な存在感を持つプレゼントの箱は、そのものを絵画として描くに足るモチーフだと思います。禍々しくも、包装を解きたくなる抗いがたい魅力をもつプレゼントの箱。更に今回は墓の副葬品を想起させる金銀の箔をあしらいました。ことに太陽のしずくを思わせる金色は、死者のごとく元気のないヒトをがんばらせるのに最適な装飾となります。死者のごとく元気のない自分に贈るプレゼントとして描きました。
