“Throne(p/g_boy)” is part of “Throne” series created by Kohei Nawa. Created by using 3D modeling to transform the texture of the surface, one can feel the historical meaning of the ‘throne,’ and the artist’s endeavors for a new understanding of that meaning through the senses. At the bottom of the sculpture, a boy is sitting at the throne. This boy, called Akira, is a fictional character in Japanese anime in the same title. Having an apocalyptic nuance, the boy and the futuristic throne’s structure captures the artist’s attempt in crossing the limits of human perception.
