Words heard from the work "I give thanks. To everyone who believed in the future and lived. To this world where I can live believing in the future. For believing in me." This work was painted using the motif of the three sacred objects, the katadama. The beasts below are the pot + bear. The overflowing water of gratitude envelopes the small behemoth on the side. The upper animal reminds me of a vase for a single flower + ikebana flower arrangement. It is holding its hands together in thanksgiving and prayer. The gradient is the figure of a human fetus. Returning to the origin of gratitude, I give thanks for being born into this world and I give thanks for me being born into this world.
