About the Artwork:

“This is about the power of perception. One may feel voiceless when trapped in a static (perhaps even feels cropped as the figure is), however nothing can remove its ability to perceive. This piece symbolizes the idea that while being in a small frame the figure could still be dominant in its own terms.” – Reiko Murakami

(Artist Bio)

Reiko Murakami is a US based illustrator specialized in surreal fantasy art. Her work’s subtle texture effect is created by layering a variety of thin paper media such as tracing paper on top of graphite drawings. Often the image is finished with a white ink drawing of a secondary image that either emphasizes or counters the symbolic meaning of the base figure.
