Secondhand Human Robot
Secondhand Human Robot
Second Hand Human Robot 中古人間ロボット：
This robot is born from an emotional dumpster. It is a robot with emotions.
It is born from shattered emotions, so it is patchwork, but it is fortunate to have such a bright heart.
In front of you, its heart begins to beat again, its intestines move, and its eyes sparkle.
Will it be able to express this again? Until the day it is discarded again....
I have practiced recreating invisible emotions in tangible form.
Garbage was originally in your hands; it leaves your hands and transforms into garbage when you throw it away.
I believe emotions are the same.
We constantly experience a cycle of many emotions within our hearts every day.
Among them are “unwanted emotions”, “emotions we can't let go of”, and “emotions that keep coming back no matter how many times we discard them”.
Garbage is incinerated and turns into dust, losing its form.
Emotions...? Where do they go...?
"Hello..."
