WAKU MATSUMOTO
HARACOchan Concept
This world is made of atoms and our human lives starts from the “meeting of male and female”
I will tell you the cue of the work of HARACO-chan Atom Design. My art work WAKUART, nothing to do with style nor production age, always there is a theme of “Life and Love Harmony” and also “Human and Natural Cosmic World” is always my motif. I have much considered and designed this “HARACO Series”
as a sign, WAKU ART symbol which is my own art. ATOM as the minimum basic unit of all matter and existence of the Earth and the Universe.
Atoms are made from the “inside” and the “outside”. Inside, there is an Atomic Nucleus as the core, outside Electron circles around Nucleus. Every existence of this universe is a fractal of "atomic structure", and the stars of the galaxy repeat atomic energy and nuclear fusion. And each of the minimum units of the components of this universe, is the solar system consisting of the nuclear level minimum unit that constitutes human life and cells and the planets that orbits around the sun, the nebula that orbits around the center of the galaxy and the outside of it. It is an "atomic fractal". Deep in the cells and life of the human body, atomic fission occurs, and life is created.
Furthermore, science and technology representing our modern human civilization is “ATOMIC POWER", which is the energy generated from nuclear fusion.
From this point of view, when I re-evaluated the human “Life・Love", I thought about the design that symbolizes WAKUART, which is created on the basis of human love and harmony as a major theme. = Atomic, It has become a character of HARACO-chan.
Now, HARACO-chan character designs are also described as WAKUART symbols.
* Nuclear fusion = ATOMIC HARACO-chan.
HARACO-chan’s basic form is a symbol of humanity and a cute design of “the form of love” that combines a male symbol and a female form.
HARACO-chan change forms depending on the state of mind and the nature of messages when drawing, and several patterns are created.
HARACO-chan was conceived as an image of male and female forms in a simplified form, and was created as a combination design of male and female forms.
The image is linked with ”HARACO-chan” image, together with the “fusion of life and love,” which is a fusion of flesh and cellular nuclei.
HARACO-chan’s eyes are appealing with a cute surprising look.The form is also a symbol of "the kindness and peace enveloping LIFE.”
