Combining the comical with the absurd, I created six funny faces to animate the images of Japanese vowels while differentiating between 'Image', 'Letter', and 'Voice'.( T.I.)

Iimura deconstructs our coherence as he shifts between the English Roman alphabet and Japanese characters, interjects spoken Japanese, and manipulates the computer images of his features. The images often take on geometical shapes, others recall the classical images from Japanese woodcuts of Samurai warrior grimace.
