When the Winds of a Radiant World Resound

The Soul Embarks on an Eternal Voyage
Concept
Even though my father has passed from this world, his spirit continues to sail across the seas of the world...
I envisioned the entire artwork as a world map, placing ships, rudders, anchors, and Poseidon's trident throughout the composition.
The seas my father sailed, his memories, and the journey of his spirit that continues into eternityー
I brought my father's voyage across the world's oceans into a single artwork, together with my prayer for him,

Light of Salvation amid the Darkness of Destruction
Concept
In a world filled with chaos, I express the contrast between the darkness heading toward destruction and the light of salvation reaching out beyond it.
On the right, a sculptural form reminiscent of magma represents a world of destruction, while on the left, I created a world surrounded by light.
No matter how much the world may appear to be heading toward destruction, God reaches out a hand of salvation and guides us toward the light.
I have poured this hope and prayer into the work.

The Wind God Stirs the Waves, the Thunder God Awakens the Dragon
Concept
This work captures the moment when the Wind God and Thunder God awaken the sleeping Dragon God.
The Wind God waves his fan, stirring the wind and creating turbulent waves. Meanwhile, the Thunder God sends flashes of lightning across the sky, and his resounding thunder awakens the deeply sleeping Dragon God.
Amid the raging waves and the thunder racing across the sky, the Dragon awakens as if responding to their power.
The Wind and Thunder Gods shake the heavens and earth, awakening the power of the Dragon. Through this work, I have expressed the power dwelling within nature and its dynamic energy.

Goddess's Smile
Concept
Amid a profusion of beautiful flowers, a goddess gazes upon the world with a gentle smile.
Her serene smile embodies peace itself - filled with love, tranquility, and harmony.
Surrounded by flowers, the scene expresses a quiet scene of happiness and a heartfelt wish for peace that will last forever.
This work was the first piece I created after returning to my artistic practice following a long hiatus. Just a year and a half after resuming my creative journey, it received an award at a juried exhibition.
The work later caught the attention of an art promotion company, which opened the door to opportunities to present my art internationally.
For me, this is deeply meaningful work - the piece that marked a turning point, as I began walking the path of artistic creation once again.
