Artist's Comments
What is reflected in the windows. What is there beyond.
The mountains in Nagasaki extend to crawl up to the sea and eventually disappear.
As if to scoop up the light of the heaven spilled to the sea, what comes from far away is an unfinished dream in a strange country.
What is reflected in the windows now is the tomorrow sky and the healthy lives of those who live at present.
