"The sun is watching
As the old folks said
If you live a pure and honest life
Surely God is watching
So, in the shade and in the sun
I want to at least live a straight life.
The gods I imagine,
And to live and to die."
I paint falling flowers and animal corpses because I believe that within the cycle of this world created by God, all living lives are precious, and that the bodies that are left behind after an animal has lived out its life in nature are also precious.
The lives of animals and plants are so simple and beautiful.
I would like to be able to express in one space the invisible concept of "God" and the physical concept of "life and death" as two sides of the same coin, inseparable from each other.
