Artwork location: France
This LEGO artwork by Qargo depicting Albator goes beyond the simple representation of a space hero to become a true ode to rebellion, freedom and the quest for justice. By choosing to show only part of Albator's face, the artist plays with the idea of mystery and inner strength, allowing the indomitable spirit of this legendary captain to shine through. The bright colors, mainly red and blue, stand out beautifully against a deep black background, symbolizing both the infinite emptiness of space and the character's inner struggles.
The QR code, subtly integrated at the bottom of the work, opens the door to the fascinating world of Albator, inviting us to further explore his role as a defender of freedom and humanity. This technological inclusion recalls the visionary essence of the character, always on the edge of the unknown, ready to rise up against injustice.
Harlock embodies the values of freedom, honor, and resistance, battling oppressive forces in distant galaxies. This work vividly illustrates that true courage lies in the ability to fight for one's ideals, even in the face of formidable adversaries. This partial and deliberately unfinished portrait celebrates solitary heroism, perseverance in the face of adversity, and the spirit of adventure. A work that, like Harlock, inspires us to never give up the fight for a more just world and to boldly sail into the unknown.
2947 EASTER EGG
Key: 2947 (date of birth)
Secret: The Easter Egg was hidden under the 737th Lego 3003 model (2 by 2) corresponding to the 2947th pixel of the platform from the top left corner.
“It's not the destination that matters, but the journey and the battles we choose to fight."
Albator, the space corsair, is not just a fictional character for the artist; he is a true source of inspiration. Across galaxies and battles, he embodies the quest for freedom, integrity, and courage. His determination to fight injustice and protect humanity, despite his personal sacrifices, resonates deeply with him.
Captain Harlock teaches the importance of remaining true to one's beliefs, even in the face of adversity. His mysterious charisma, marked by his iconic scar, piercing gaze, and unwavering stance, symbolizes the constant struggle between light and shadow.
A born leader, he guides his crew with wisdom and compassion, making Arcadia a true refuge for souls seeking justice. Harlock's bravery and his fight for an ideal invite us to pursue our own battles with honor.
It embodies the hope that, whatever the challenges, everyone can navigate towards a better future, guided by their principles.

Presentation
Qargo is a visionary contemporary artist who uses LEGO bricks as his exclusive artistic medium to pay homage to global pop culture icons. Inspired by pixels, video games, new technologies, and the digital world, he creates highly symbolic mosaics, celebrating strong human values such as resilience, loyalty, and authenticity.
A pioneer, Qargo integrates interactive QR codes into his works, offering viewers an immersive experience between the physical and digital worlds. This unique connection, born in part from his exchanges with Masahiro Hara, inventor of the QR code, allows each work to extend online and actively engage the audience.
Between tangible art, digital culture and generational engagement, Qargo builds a bridge between past, present and future, mixing emotion, innovation and play in LEGO creations that are as playful as they are inspiring.
