Behind The Artworks: False Messiah - Rise Of The Seven (Single) (2026)

As for the artwork, we deliberately wanted to preserve mystery. We do not want to define the Seven too clearly, because the image is meant to remain open. Are they real warriors? Are they men or women? Are they survivors, guardians, fragments of identity, or projections of our imagination and cultural memory? Are they what we are, or what we wish we could become? We prefer not to lock the image into one meaning.

 

That is why the warriors have no visible faces, just like False Messiah itself. They could belong to a forgotten past, a mythological future, a dream, a science-fiction world, an anime universe, or even a reality hidden inside our own minds. In a way, the artwork stands exactly at that border between the real and the unreal, between physical resistance and inner awakening. It asks whether we are still living in reality as we once understood it, or whether we are already moving through new layers of reality, simulation, fear, projection, and control.

 

The world of False Messiah is both a refuge and a confrontation. The Seven may be trying to deliver us from darkness, but they may also simply be reflections of the struggle inside us, the part of human consciousness that refuses to surrender completely. That is why the artwork remains faceless and unresolved. It is not there to explain. It is there to awaken recognition.
