Catalogue Note
“From within the radiantly shining sky appear quietly my infinitely earnest wishes for finding the truth. With my heart filled with emotions, I say now from the bottom of my heart with tears welled up in my eyes: A wish for a great life has supported me in this dizzying world of people filled with glittering love and hope.”
