Debris Japan - Sol

【Concept】True Japanese spirit Japan will never give in to any disaster. We can care for people and help each other even if strangers. Our thought and culture that has been handed down from one generation to another, make them possible. Someday we will rebuild this country again with the Japanese spirit. The 2nd Annual Designer Toy Awards will be held at the historic Providence NYC, one of New York City's most opulent venues! Located in Midtown Manhattan, Providence NYC was formerly a church and then a recording studio, where The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Guns N' Roses, John Lenon and many other legends recorded their magic. With 35-foot cathedral ceilings, multiple levels and a world-renowned full bar and kitchen, we couldn't be happier with our home for this year's ceremony! The Designer Toy Awards will be held on October 13th, 2012 (during New York Comic-Con weekend). Doors open — and the party starts — at 8:00 pm. The first 50 non-professionals through the door will receive an awesome Goodie Bag! Originally, the concept of restore is to bring back something to an original condition. The goal of "RESTORE" project is to add a new & fresh idea into this time of classical-minded and doubt. That is "RESTORE". It's fun for me to sculpt statues of prototype. But Most of them are the character that has been already created by somebody else. I can arrange them, but won't be able to be an origin. That is the problem. "Original" That's what i wanna be. I'm so sick and tired of lots of similar type of TOYS of this world. I want to create something more conceptual & functional & cool as well... in other words, something that i can find out various values from different angles. Every piece of my work deal with "Present", because I'm living in the present moment. The nearer to the present, the closer to the truth.
