Exposition：

“Whether you like it or not, my artworks are more than a self-portrait. Instead, they are more like someone’s child or friend. Actually, I would like the viewers to own them and in a perfect world, I’d love to have a place in art history, even after my passing.” 
Yoshitomo Nara

The gaze of the children in Yoshitomo’s portrait reveals loneliness, anger or indifference; as though expressing the dissatisfaction for society and implying the inner side of modern people. The implication or hinting atmosphere enabled Yoshitomo to differentiate from commercial iconographs. Her artworks are widely collected by many significant art museums.
