The Japanese term "kawaii", which can be roughly translated as "cute" and defines an entire sub-genre in the art world, is primarily used for figurative or superficially beautiful works whose aesthetics are supposedly more important than the content. It seems essential that the work does not make any specific demands on the viewer. In art history, beauty is mistakenly attributed to a purely feminine culture, a sensitive, considerate, vulnerable person who is not strong enough to cope with the daily challenges of the real world. From a contemporary perspective, the confrontation-defensive artwork is an alternative to strong masculine works that challenge, not least to elevate themselves and thereby call into question male role models of recent decades. The re-contextualisation of artworks that at first glance address superficial aspects could lead to insights into their substantive meaning. One of many possible associations would be courage for humanity, which is inevitably vulnerable, regardless of gender or identification, allowing questions and not knowing in order to strive for an inclusive society.
