On the inspiration behind the painting series, Hikari shares: "I have always created portraits of children as a concept. Their appearance, "everyone, not anyone," is also a mirror of the real world. 2020 was a year of great disaster. Many were hurt and distressed. It was also a year when great anxiety and fear became a common language for humankind. I drew the figure of a person who lived in 2020 as a person who seems to have many scratches and [the portrait is] seemingly disturbing. In the background, I collage newspapers to represent the modernity of the time that the work was created and to suggest that the present is the past."
