Foundation 2D Project 3 – Ego WIP Part 3
こんにちは~! 😀
Konnichiwa~! 😀
Once again, these are the updates on my Project 3; Ego.
The theme that I am working on is ‘寿司, Sushi’.
In all the 12 compositions, I aim to narrate my personality and character through the use of Sushi.
In the following sections, I will share about my exploration and inspirations from artist.
Enjoy!
PS: Apologies if this post made you hungry 😛
Myself
Representation: Inarizushi 稲荷寿司
Definition: a kind of sushi or rice ball that is stuffed in seasoned tofu pouches. Inarizushi is technically sushi, but it is not something you order at nice sushi restaurants.In addition, it is a very casual food and a perfect lunch for picnics.

Why?
1)Spongy texture – My skin
2) Greasy – My oily skin
3) Tofu pouches – My skin colour, served as a clothing as well
4) Economic – Everyone favorite 😀
How To Make Inarizushi
Colour Harmonies
Core Colour: Yellow-Orange
In the composition, I aim to make use of the various colour theories to play with the idea of ‘Interaction’.
The experiment will bring out the effect of ‘Yellow-Orange’ have on other colours.
Below are examples of colour theories that I’m applying in my compositions.

‘The Art of Makizushi (Rolled Sushi)’ – Edible Artwork
Takayo Kiyota Makizushi food art involve the use of imagination and strong visualization that is require in the cross-section of the sushi.
Quote from Takayo Kiyota :
“I never know what the inside looks like so I’m never sure if it will come out the way I imagined. And I can’t make edits once it’s done.” “Facial expressions are especially difficult because small ingredients or overly exerted force when wrapping can completely throw things off. It’s always a special moment when I make the first incision to reveal the image.”
My opinion:
Food art has always been around to make out meals look more appetising, it also serves as a form of artistic expression as well. I find Takayo Kiyota ‘artwork’ inspiring because it’s like a complete surprise! Looking back at the research artists I’ve done for the previous projects, the Art of Makizushi serve not only as a form of art expression, it demonstrate the possibility of how other mediums can be incorporated to push art beyond boundaries.
