This canvas brings together a collection of powerful faces — some drawn from my own original story, others inspired by Anime and Manga that continue to shape me. What unites them is a shared sense of power, expressed through gaze, expression, and presence. Created using my sewing machine as my pen, each stitched line captures both strength and vulnerability, as I continue to try blending contemporary art with the spirit of anime storytelling. One day, I hope to see some of these characters have their stories fleshed out in Pure Animated Glory — I view this work as a great step along that path.
