Untitled (David), 2025
Fabric, thread, beads, ribbon, sticker and acrylic paint on canvas
30 x 30cm
This work is painted on collaged fabric stretched over a canvas, embellished with beads and ribbon. The central figure’s posture is borrowed from the conventions of the Japanese gravure pin up girl, a genre that exemplifies and amplifies the male gaze in Japan. Instead of reproducing the original female body, I traced poses from free online images of male bodies, digitally collaged them together, and printed the composite form directly onto the fabric. The figure’s face is generated by AI and then stitched with a decorative ribbon, deliberately mimicking the fetish angles of the pin up model from the source photograph. The playful adornment of ribbon both beautifies and mocks the framing of bodies as ornamental objects for consumption.
The background painting is derived from a Japanese escort service website, which makes use of design templates reminiscent of the early 2010s. By placing the reconstructed male body within this digital window, the figure appears to be stepping out of the internet itself, a ghostly presence born from the online marketplace of fantasy. The collision of male form, pin up posture, and commodified web design destabilizes the viewer’s expectation of gendered desire, exposing how bodies are framed, fetishized, and circulated in both virtual and physical space.
The combination of fabric, ornamentation, and digital imagery collapses boundaries between craft, painting, and internet ephemera. What emerges is a body that is at once seductive and unsettling, playful and critical. The work invites reflection on how the internet has reshaped not only how we see bodies, but also how we imagine and reproduce desire itself.
