This LEGO Goldorak work by qargo boldly revisits the legendary robot, opting for a modern, stylized interpretation. Rather than limiting himself to a classic representation, the artist has chosen to hijack the character, highlighting his iconic elements: his majestic golden wings and imposing face. Far from diminishing Goldorak’s strength, this artistic choice accentuates his dynamism and lends the work a visual tension, as if the robot were ready to take flight at any moment.
The QR code, integrated into the back of the work, acts as a gateway to the timeless world of Goldorak. This code is not simply a technical addition: it symbolizes the fusion of tradition and modernity, reminding us that even icons of the past can be reinvented in a contemporary context while retaining their symbolic power. The work is signed by Masahiro Hara, the inventor of the QR code, reinforcing its technological and historical dimensions.
By fragmenting Goldorak in this way, the artist offers a new perspective on this hero: a pared-down, contemporary approach that magnifies the very essence of the character, namely the struggle for justice and the protection of the oppressed. This seemingly minimalist, cropped format enriches the visual narrative and creates a dynamic structure that seems almost to be in motion, reinforcing the idea that Goldorak is not just a frozen symbol, but an active force for good.
This work fully embodies the power of imagination and the importance of fighting for a better world, eternal values that Goldorak represents across generations.
