Yu brings together the beloved characters from "Howl's Moving Castle" and the iconic artistic style of Keith Haring. This piece merges their creative expressions, 
by drawing our attention to their similar underlying themes of war, discrimination, and the destructive nature of power. 

Similarly, Keith Haring's artwork often conveyed social and political messages, addressing issues such as the impact of capitalism. Both the movie and Haring's art can be seen as forms of visual storytelling that comment on the society and culture of their respective contexts.

Through the lens of Haring's artistic language, the piece draws attention to these pressing concerns, urging us to examine our own roles in challenging social norms and striving for a more inclusive and just world.
