Echoes Trophy Therapy

Book Introduction The artist views the “mascot” as a manifestation of will—an embodiment created to cheer for oneself. For adults, he believes that a small sense of romance, comfort, happiness, and the magic of good fortune are the true essence of a mascot. The mascot he discovered is the trophy. The moment one receives a trophy brings the feeling of having one’s effort and process acknowledged, and this sensation extends beyond simple achievement—it becomes a force that helps one believe in oneself again. Based on this perspective, this book explores the emotional power and meaning contained within the feelings that mascots evoke. Author Introduction Centering his work around the concept of “portraits of taste,” artist 275C expresses themes of humor, wit, and wordplay through an aesthetic of order, balance, and variation. His vivid, kidult-inspired pop-art sensibility is characterized by clever, playful expression. Moving freely across various media—painting, sculpture, graphic design, and video—he continues to expand his practice through a distinctive and original visual language.
