This image makes me think of juxtaposition. It’s as if Mori is using her weird alien suit to compare her world with the “normal” world. Most of her works of art have to do with taking some weird costume and putting it in a position of everyday life. I don’t quite understand the inspiration behind the purple alien/robot suit but I don’t think that is as important as what it portrays. It is almost as if Mori is showing how nobody really expresses themselves anymore. They just go about their busy lives like in the picture.
One of the other things I found interesting about this picture is that she is standing right next to the busy store and yet it appears as though no one is looking at her. In reality, we often ignore things that “stand out” because they have become normal to us. Everyone is so busy that we don’t even stop to see what is going on in reality. That is not the case in this picture. Nobody is even acknowledging her.
