Statement

Breath of Grass

Concept:In the past, it used to be that my body flamed with anger or that my heart trembled with a fear of uncertain future.

However, now I understand that it was just an appearance of unstable feeling of youth that compares myself with others of something else. Being matured, I've come to believe it is useless to worry about our destiny even though farewells increasing with age makes my heart cry.

My appearance is changing with age, but nobody knows how my heart has changed.

I have not given up on my heart. I am the only one who understands my change of heart.

一目で惹きつけられる強さのある作品で、ステイトメントも良い。ただ、どれも過去に拝見した作品だったので、新作が見たかった。
