Concept
Mori mainly uses wrestling as a motif and works with Japanese painting techniques. By using traditional Japanese painting styles and techniques, he attempts to reveal the “stylistic beauty” of the motifs. In addition, wrestlers cultivate a strong body and mind through rigorous daily training. There is a sense of greatness to the figure that even makes one wonder if something sacred resides in it, and by highlighting the magnitude of the figure’s existence, he hopes that it will become a kind of “lucky charm” that will accept the pain and suffering of those who see it.
