Statement
I express the fictional world covered with fungi and slime mold by intermingling plants, rubble, stories and so on.
Fungi exist in all parts of the world as molds, mushrooms and yeasts. I think it looks like it is alive and lives regardless of anything. I look very sad and scary.
While it feels a bit of anxiety and awkwardness in the current civilized society where various things are rationally managed, it is easy for the world to be alive and well-organized, it is easy for us to live out of this frame It is because you feel like you have a world of freedom that you can not afford. Although I want freedom like fungi, I do not have the courage to get it.
However, in creation, we can draw the form of ideal freedom that can not be obtained. The world is a form of a new world centered on fungi and slime molds that I have imagined about freedom, with the growth and abnormal breeding of fungi and plants. Here, humans, animals, plants and fungi are not managed by anything, and they are able to live freely without civilization while cooperating equally.
And it would be nice if I could express the free world I think of as a scene in a story.
