EPISODE 1

CATHARSIS

This collection is the manifestation of Asato’s deepest yearning for love. It draws inspiration from those pivotal moments in his life where he felt the eight primal emotions, as defined by Robert Plutchik, with unparalleled intensity. Each of the eight giants symbolizes one of these fundamental emotions. Rooted in the philosophy of dualism, it is a tribute to the delicate dance between the inner self — the authentic essence — and the societal self, which is crafted by the world’s expectations. This work celebrates the imperfect nature of humanity, embracing the eternal interplay between our true selves and the personas we create.
