Majiru, which means fusion in Japanese, is an exclusive collection of MYFACE associated to two artistic universes, that of the photograph of Jean-Christophe Attard and the painting of Morio Matsui. JC Attard pays homage to the Japanese master by digitally superimposes pictorial fragments of Matsui paintings onto a series of photographs taken during his visit to Japan in 2006.
