Space Cowboy
Smokin’, drifting through a boundless cosmos. The cowboy symbolizes freedom and adventure, the wanderer unbound by time or place, while the skull is a reminder of life’s impermanence. The Space Cowboy is a traveler between worlds, thoughts, and dimensions. He smokes not merely to escape, but to slow down, to feel, to drift. He embodies the free spirit that refuses to be captured by systems, rules, or the ticking of the clock. In many of my works, I also include the Japanese word for cowboy. For Western eyes, the characters evoke mystery, elegance, and a sense of the unknown. They add a poetic layer, reminding us that freedom and impermanence are not bound to one culture or language, they are universal truths. The Space Cowboy is a paradox: lightness and mortality, adventure and silence, the familiar and the mysterious.
