Refrain

This artwork captures the contrast between people in a modern city through the juxtaposition of a monochrome PAC-MAN, swallowed by the hustle and bustle of the city, and a colorful PAC-MAN that stands out with its vivid hues. The monochrome PAC-MAN symbolizes the modern man who often carried away by his daily routine and works as a mechanical "cog." It reflects the colder, more mechanical aspects of urban life, evoking the image of a society where individuality is gradually overshadowed by the demands of a vast urban system.

On the other hand, the colorful PAC-MAN embodies a declaration of individuality within the crowd. With its vivid colors, it represents a figure that insists "I am the main character," embracing unwavering self-determination amidst the everyday clamor and societal pressures. It is depicted as a resilient force, standing firm against conformity, and carving its own path in the cityscape, refusing to be swayed by the pressures of modern urban life.

Through this juxtaposition, the artwork as a whole delivers a powerful message to its viewers: "Do not simply go along with the flow, walk your path with intention."
It carries a hope that individuals can discover their own unique stories and potential, even within the often impersonal landscape of city life.
