Flowers have been blooming on this earth long before we humans were born into this world, and I believe that we have witnessed and lived through various scenes from the moment of the birth of mankind to the present day. Happiness, events that prickle the heart a little, healing and sadness, hope and despair. There is no way for a flower to convey its feelings to someone else, even though there must be feelings. We just look at our feelings and quietly put them away in our hearts without telling anyone... This is something we all share in common in our fast-paced modern society. I am not very good at putting my feelings into words. However, there is no right or wrong answer to each person's thoughts and values. There is only "difference. That is why everyone has equal freedom of expression. That is what I am thinking as I create my works. Just as flowers blooming all over the world quietly breathe, we hope that our thoughts will gently exist there and reach someone's heart somewhere.
