At this pond, another artist previously had an installation for the 5th exhibition.
I hadn’t been here for many years and the lotus blanketing the pond made for such different scenery.
In summer, the lotuses open their flowers upwards towards the heavens.
The beautiful pale pink flowers give off a pure radiance, making this such a magical place.
I hope to make flowers bloom here again in Autumn.

Above the sky, the sun casts a light into the deep end of the thicket and brightens fallen leaves lying around my feet.The sunlight, which was hindered by exuberant green leaves in summer, penetrates every end of the thicket. The thicket in winter is filled with a light.
