On the second glance, Noriaki surprises us with refinement.
What first appears as a quick, almost careless figure begins to reorganize itself. Each interruption matters: the small black accents, the pause at the ear, the slight thickening of the contour.
The extended leg – the “left foot” – becomes a vector, reaches outward, detached from the body’s center, since desire had shifted location. The small, block-like shoe anchors it, but only minimally. The figure has already begun to leave itself.
