The reason why I became one with two people

I went for a medical checkup for the first time in 10 years.I'm trembling with fear about the results coming in a few weeks.

Hello.This is Juane.

As written in theprofile on this site, we are active as "Two people, One artist".

Actually, this was a proposal from Jun(Jun Iwasaki).For those who know him well, it might seem a little surprising.

When I heard his proposal, I intuitively felt the "fun of creating a work with two people".

Photos that can never be taken alone, the excitement of creating a worldview that cannot be drawn alone... But the reason I agreed to the proposal was not only that.

The reason I chose this challenge was because I thought, "I want to practice world peace in the smallest unit."

I feel that accepting values different from one's own is more necessary than anything else to make the world peaceful. But that is not as easy as it sounds...

Jun makes decisions incredibly rationally.

I move with emotion and momentum.

If two strictly opposite people try to act as "one personality," enormous energy is required to align their values.

But if even these two people in the smallest unit cannot accept each other and create peace(harmony), I don't think we can make the world a better place... That's what I thought.

This difficult process gives me the mind necessary to make the world peaceful.It was because I was convinced of that that I decided to become "one" with him.

New values born from two opposites approaching and mixing.I want to experience how that resonates with someone through our works from now on.

The trembling I feel now waiting for the results of the medical checkup might be the flip side of my desire to "continue this grand experiment for a long time." Haha.

From now on, I would like to put the other side of Juane's heart into words little by little in this place.

Thank you for your support.
