In fact, [PANSA] is something similar to a time machine in the story conceived by Amano Yoshitaka. The protagonist rides PANSA to and from different dimensions and the future world. Although it is a means of transportation, it has its own consciousness. Originally painted for the New York Art Exhibition in 1999, this was also an opportunity to create PANSA
Yoshitaka Amano has been adding black panther elements to various works since long ago. Although he doesn’t know the reason, this image has always existed in his heart. Especially when there is no theme, I often draw this image when I practice casually. It lasts for decades. What is this? Although he himself can’t explain it well… [PANSA] is a machine from the future. In the future science fiction world, the machine and the creature may be one. Even if the background is set to the present, as long as there is a brain, the shape can be a machine or a more advanced computer in the future. [PANSA], born in an era when there is no difference between machines and creatures, will go back to the past. For example, returning to the present from the future 10,000 years later. Although [PANSA] is full of science fiction and incredible for us now, maybe in the future, [PANSA] will be an ordinary existence of course. So Yoshitaka Amano created [PANSA] and produced [PANSA]. The integration of machinery and wisdom can be understood as a computer or AI in a sense. [PANSA] Maybe a brand new creature in the future, created based on a fantasy
