Artist's Note

I have bestowed the name “TOBBA” upon the tirelessly revolving gears that play a crucial role,

imbuing them with vitality. Through TOBBA, I aspire to convey positive energy to people.

Much like gears must mesh together to transmit energy, it carries a hope for making a more open world

through the synergy of everyone coming together.

They express their communication through letter symbols that everyone uses daily in the digital age.

TOBBA, by connecting individuals and transmitting new strength to the world, serves as a symbol of hope,

relaxation, and healing for all of us. It tells the unique stories of people around the world,

leading them toward a healthy and fulfilling life.

TOBBA’s Story

TOBBA represents our story, where diverse identities harmoniously coexist,

providing each other with positive energy, all expressed through

letter symbols everyday we use in the digital age.

Just as gears mesh together to transmit power, the diverse individual forms

blend together to convey joyful energy to one another.

TOBBA, connecting isolated individuals to create new strength

and transmitting it to the world, carries a hope

that it becomes a time of healing and relaxation for everyone.
