Jellyfish Eyes 2 is part of Murakami’s broader Jellyfish Eyes series, which is closely connected to his themes of fantasy, pop culture, and post-apocalyptic narratives. This work likely continues his exploration of anime aesthetics, supernatural creatures, and emotional storytelling.
Connection to Jellyfish Eyes Film: Murakami created a feature-length film titled Jellyfish Eyes (2013), which blends CGI animation with live action, telling the story of a young boy who discovers a floating, jellyfish-like creature. This work may draw visual inspiration from the film’s character designs.
Superflat Influence: The Jellyfish Eyes series follows Murakami’s Superflat philosophy, merging high and low art, consumerism, and anime-style visuals into a seamless, flattened aesthetic.
Emotional Depth: Unlike some of Murakami’s more chaotic and commercial pieces, the Jellyfish Eyes series has a soft, dreamy, and melancholic quality, reflecting themes of childhood innocence, loss, and the search for companionship.
