Once, while showing a collage piece to an acquaintance and asking, “What should I title this?”
I was surprised when he immediately responded with "360-Degree Hell."
I was impressed by his quick and unconventional thinking.
The piece depicted two elderly gentlemen in white, long garments reminiscent of ancient Greece, sitting and conversing on top of a composition combining diagrams of human blood vessels and blood cells from an old anatomy book.
In any case, I felt that the title was unbalanced with the piece's tone and intensity, so I discarded the suggestion. Ultimately, I settled on the title "Another Day of the Same."
Titles are clearly part of the artwork.
While not the literal appearance, I strive to make them resonate with the underlying essence of the piece.
So, what is the title of this work?
The answer is "Prohibited Gate".
