Toyoya Li / Badge Pin / Globe Head with Legs

This badge pin depicts the story of how the logo of Toyoya Li's LOW_PUBLISH comes to be. LOW_PUBLISH is the brand name of Toyoya Li's merchandise.
 
LOW_PUBLISH  is a globe-headed figure: a pixel character with glasses, built from an ordinary human body. One day, the head decides it has outgrown the body. It detaches and escapes. Free but groundless, the head realises it can't go anywhere without legs. So it grow its own legs and learns to walk. But moving through the world alone, it starts to miss something. The body it left behind carried knowledge, memory, experience it didn't take with it. So the head grows an appendage — a long, stretching form — to reach back and absorb what it abandoned.
 
The result is the creature on Pin 3: a globe on legs, still becoming.
