Am I simply a funny image

of Morimura dressed up oris there many meanings

behind this image of me.

Am I questioning the

dominance of Europe in

establishing what is fine

art?Am I meant to draw

attention to values

themselves?

Am I about global

hybridisation of cultures?

Am I stating sexual

diversity or child abuse?

The audience is keep

guessing.
