About the work
There are many old related peoples of me in this work.
The relationship between them and me is very important and unbroken.
But sometimes, the relationship is broken by unavoidable power.
I love my related people, flowers, trees, and the absurd world.
The flower will continue blooming, people will continue breaking something,
I will continue weaving with my soul.
