“Prelude to the Empress” by Ryo Asakura. Comment from Asakura: “In the main visual for the Panchira Exhibit, a man wearing a green shirt is looking at an instance of panchira. My work uses the same point of view as that man. What could the man in the green shirt be thinking, what could he be feeling as he looks at the panchira? Surely, he was thinking, ‘I will show what a real panchira is!’ He transforms himself in order to show the world the most beautiful and powerful panchira.” © seventhgraphics
