The base of the work is Kyoto's Shimogamo Shrine, a deep forest known as a power spot that is dark even in summer. When I was there, my memories of the past were sucked away and I felt as if I was becoming anew. "In this closed off world where no one can find it, there seems to be a transparent, crumbling beauty." This imbalance was expressed.
