It is cast in bronze and painted in a crisp white hue, as a depiction of the Japanese artist's signature '[big-headed girls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-bust).' On the back of the sculpture is a [dotted "PEACE"](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-love-joy) to push the overarching message. The artist spent much of his youth growing up in a small town that is just north of Tokyo. He understood the world through music and talking about the artist, Yeewan Koon states “For Nara, finding a newly released or hard-to-find recording was part of the excitement of transgressing such geographical boundaries,” in the recent Phaidon Nara monograph.
