Sawai Daisuke presents works themed around "connection."

Sawai, who began creating under the significant influence of skateboarding, was inspired by the burning graphic designs and brand logos on skateboard decks,

Starting from a lifestyle where graphic designs featuring fire, such as company mascots themed around flames commonly seen in skateboard culture, are a natural presence,

This real-life experience became an opportunity to think about the existence of fire.

By viewing the presence of fire used in beliefs and customs related to fire as a "catalyst connecting to another world,"

It attempts to express the melancholy and praise of humans who continue to "connect" with an ever-expanding civilization.

Daisuke Sawai presents works with the theme of "connection".

He began his work with great influence from skateboarding. This real-life experience is based on a life where graphic designs using fire are commonplace in skateboarding culture,

such as burning graphic designs on skateboard decks, brand logos, and corporate characters with fire motifs. It gave me an opportunity to think about the existence of fire.

By reconsidering the existence of fire, which is used in fire-related beliefs and customs, from the perspective of a ''catalyst that connects to another world'',

I attempt to express the melancholy and admiration of humans who continue to ''connection'' with an ever-expanding civilization.
