In the tuna market, If you found her in the food market, what would you do? The ocean is deep and wide. Many things are living there. Sometimes we find something like her. I saw her in the fish market in Tsukiji, Tokyo. She was being sold at auction, mixed in with the regular tuna. She gazed at me with a sad yet noble gaze. I was completely mesmerized by her nobility and became obsessed with her. Would I buy her and eat her as an octopus? Or treat her like a woman? Anyway, I joined the bidding... painted 2016
