Exploring Shintaro Kago’s Psychological Diagrams
Exploring Shintaro Kago’s Psychological Diagrams
Kago draws thoughts. Literally. He builds full-page visualizations of psychological processes: shame as machinery, panic as an optical illusion, identity as looped architecture.
He doesn’t illustrate feelings — he designs them. His diagrams don’t explain. They infect. Reading them feels like a therapy session where the therapist is smiling too hard.
They’re not metaphor. They’re maps to your own confusion.
