"By covering surface of an object with transparent glass beads, the existence of the object itself is replaced by "a husk of light", and the new vision "the cell of an image" (PixCell) is shown.
Most of the motifs, like stuffed animals are found through the internet. I search some auction sites and choose from the images which appear on a monitor as pixel. However, the stuffed animals which actually have been purchased and sent have real flesh feel and smell, and have a discrepancy with images on the monitor. I then transpose them to PixCell in turn."
I like how Nawa uses takes an animal, something that we see every day, and changes our perspective of it entirely. He does not change the deer itself, only our perspective of it. This demonstrates Nawa's use of alchemy. He takes an animal, something that is typically a part of every day life and not valued as out of the ordinary, and transforms it into something awe inspiring and new.
