　　"Head-to-Head" has been a significant creative theme for Jimmy in recent years. From sculptures and oil paintings to column works, you can see heartwarming and endearing scenes of children, animals, and plants touching heads. These long-awaited works are finally presented in "Head-to-Head, Let's Talk."
 
　　Touching heads is a warm and comforting gesture. Jimmy says it's something he often does with his daughter, and also an intimate activity with his pet cat at home, which is why he has always wanted to paint this theme.
 
　　However, reality is both cruel and unexpected. The novel coronavirus pneumonia, which began earlier this year, has affected the entire world. Even the simple act of touching heads has temporarily become an unbearable burden due to the need for social distancing. It is especially at such times that these warm little gestures become even more genuinely cherished.
 
　　When intimate conversation is impossible, Jimmy has depicted people's desire for close dialogue. Through a series of adorable head-to-head images, he expresses people's inner expectation for mutual exchange and interaction. When people can communicate without misunderstanding or distance, that is heaven.
