ARTIST STATEMENT
This "Out of Cage" is inspired from Japanese nursery rhymes and children's games. The lyrics are sung as a metaphor for the situation of oppressed women and children in the past. I imagined joining hands from the circle in the bottom right (the current situation) and walking the path of hope. The contrast between black and red is based on yin and yang. Instead of the usual white (yang), I use red for representing cheers.
