More About This Painting
Pink comes regularly to Strange City from the Eastern Galaxy. She stays only briefly, visits the Seer, and leaves. But when she arrives, the whole city knows! “She’s here! The geisha is here!” people whisper to one another, as if an alien had descended. That is how Pink appears in their minds, since most residents of Strange City have never left its borders, nor visited another galaxy. The truth is, she is striking: her luxurious silk kimono, her rich, jet-black hair always tied in the traditional bun, and her almond-shaped eyes. She is always accompanied by the same gentleman—aristocratic, serious, protective of Pink.
So you understand, it isn’t only Pink’s appearance that draws attention, but also the gentleman who accompanies her. In the Eastern Galaxy, geishas hold a special place in society. They are trained from a young age in music, dance, and proper etiquette. But in other galaxies, where people do not understand Eastern culture, they assume geishas are merely seductive, well-dressed women—and they remain stuck in that misconception. Pink, however, is far more than what either East or West believes. She does what must be done, as many women in all galaxies do! Patiently, she creates opportunities through her actions, gradually shaping conditions that allow her to do what she desires. And along with her, other women, through their ways of life, build and create a better future for the geishas of tomorrow, across the world. Revolutionary Pink!
