This work explores the delicate balance between systems and emotions through the use of playing cards.
With each card turned, it reveals the fluctuations of society and the intricacies of human behavior.

The structure in which a Royal Flush—the highest-ranking hand in poker—can never be completed symbolizes the impossibility of achieving a perfect equilibrium in reality.

When a card suit is black, taxation increases; when it is red, love rises.
However, whenever one increases, the other inevitably declines.

As systems grow stronger, love is suppressed; as love deepens, the structure weakens.

本作「税か愛か」は、トランプを使って制度と感情のバランスを問う作品である
カードをめくるたびに、社会の揺らぎと人間の営みを浮かび上がらせる

ポーカーにおける最強の役「ロイヤルストレートフラッシュ」が永遠に揃わない構造は、理想的な均衡が存在しない現実を示す

カードのスートが黒なら税が上昇し、赤なら愛が上昇する
ただし、どちらかが上がれば、もう一方は必ず下がる

制度が強まれば愛は抑えられ、愛が満ちれば制度は希薄になる
