Ikigai is one of the most interesting Japanese principles, which can be translated with the expressions 'reason to live' or 'reason for one's existence'. Each of us has his purpose in life and, at some point, the time comes when it is necessary to go and look for it.
I depicted it as a Japanese countryman chasing a will-o'-the-wisp in the middle of a tall grass field.
to follow our path we must sometimes undertake it alone, walking in the dark and chasing a dim light.
also in this case I used various types of images and I wanted to reuse the writing taken from the game "LSD dream emulator" (bottom right corner)and together with it
the label of a pasta brand "Peragallo", a POST cover, and other illustrations from kids' books and from Pinterest.
