Go Hayakawa Art – Super Dekoboko
CONCEPT
– Super Dekoboko –
Uneven on the canvas.
Uneven in my life.
Unevenness may be what remains of being human.
systems will keep chasing smoothness.
“Super Dekoboko” is the art of unevenness—an embrace of distortion, contrast, and imperfection as the true texture of being alive.
The word “Dekoboko” in Japanese means uneven or bumpy.
For me, it is more than a surface—it is a way of seeing.
Each layer of paint, each failure, each recovery becomes part of one living texture.
