This is an hommage picture I just did  in honor of Masami Teraokas famous 39 flavors in Japan.

Mine merges me with the original picture.

I did a whole series of photographs of me posing while eating ice cream (soy variety) with an entire years worth of my favorite soy ice cream containers surrounding me.And yes I did eat my ice cream while wearing a kimono.

I’ve always loved his work and always wanted to emulate the picture…MASAMI

But I do think it makes an interesting comment. Teraokas work was about the influence of the western culture invasion.Such as 39 flavors ice cream coming to Japan. And with mine it is interesting because so far here in Kyoto, I can hardly find any soy products that I enjoy in the west especially soy ice cream. :(
