Imaginary deaths, real grief: Thai artist honours fallen anime heroes
Portraits of dozens of anime characters, each with a small altar for fans to leave flowers, adorn the wall of a Bangkok gallery -- a tribute to fictional heroes who met an untimely death. The 2D Afterlife exhibit is made up of 50 of these creations from artist Jinnipha Nivasabut, who wanted to mourn the deaths of her favourite characters in popular shows and manga series. The core concept "is to explore the idea of why the deaths of these fictional characters could have such an impact on real people," the 22-year-old anime lover said.
