Nara captures the tension between the innocence and experience, physical isolation and mental freedom, containment and independence. Nara embraces the whole of the human condition and recognizes that, in fact, evil is an essential part of innocence.


Kristin Chambers in Yoshitomo Nara: Nothing ever happens, 2008

Nara réussit à saisir la tension entre l’innocence et l’expérience, l’isolation physique et la liberté mentale, la répression et l’indépendance. Nara embrasse l’ensemble de la condition humaine et décèle que le mal est en fait une part essentielle de l’innocence.
