This painting is based on the theme of light in the darkness, with the image of stars in the night sky.
I usually turn off the lights in my room when I get home.
This is because we cut off from the outside world by turning off the lights when it is bright outside.
This will help you get away from the hustle and bustle and reset your mind.
The reason I like stars is because they can be seen no matter where you are, even if you are in the dark. This is because you can feel that you are connected to someone in some way.
I chose ripples to express the light as it represents ephemerality, and I wanted to express the way water spreads around when it falls, like light spreading in the darkness.
My particular preference was to first draw a circle using the core of cellophane tape. I left that and painted it over with yellow and navy.
The reason why you can see the circle behind me is because I want to express it in the light, so that the ``true feelings'' and ``shadows within myself'' are not buried in the brightness.
The main color this time was yellow, but the reason I chose navy and black as the base colors was because I wanted to express the ``inner mind'' and ``night sky.''
During the process of working, I had to face myself, and there were times when things turned out to be far from what I had originally imagined. In the end, I was able to express what I wanted to express, so I was satisfied with the result, so I'm glad that it turned out well.

When I hear a sound, I can picture the source as if I were seeing it.
I used a painting knife to roughly draw out scenes that remained in my memory, mixed with the sights I actually saw.
The left side represents the sound of rain and waves, and the right side represents the sounds of passing train windows and high swings.
In the middle, I expressed myself in the form of a yellow lump and the sound of the wind blowing through a tunnel.
Although these scenery will not actually be all gathered together in one place, we hope that you will be able to reminisce about the nature that surrounds us and each scene, even in the form of sounds.

Author's comment:
A wall tends to form between the unstable waves of "depression" and those who are considered "normal," but
The meaning is that if they actually interact, their individuality will shine even more.

The wave part is “my instability”
The stack of squares represents "a stack of ordinary people"
We are not just noise that is causing trouble to society
The waves of emotions are just different from normal people
Because every person has individuality
I hope that when they come together, it will become a gentle world like a painting

I have worked in a variety of customer service jobs.
However, I didn't fit in anywhere and was embarrassed to interact with customers. I'm not confident that I'm doing my job properly, I was moving from job to job.
I couldn't do the same things as other people, I didn't feel like I could fit into society, and I always felt inferior.

The turning point came when I got a part-time job as a 2D designer at the age of 30.
There, I was able to work on designs that I liked, made friends with the people around me, and enjoyed every day.
Although there were times when I lacked the ability and was forced to meet deadlines, I was able to feel that this was my path in life.

In the design workplace, you can be who you are and others will accept that.
My skills improved rapidly, and I felt happy that I was needed at work.

However, at my third design company, I was told, ``I don't want to put too much stress on my employee's child, so you should do it for me.''
Then I thought, ``I don't care,'' and I felt bad, and I was told, ``It's normal for dispatchers to be able to do everything perfectly.''
Even though I didn't become Superman as soon as I was dispatched, I found it painful that they didn't see me as an individual at all.
My depression got worse and I quit my job, but now I am working again as a designer at Type A Company.

With less mental burden than before, I can engage in a wide range of activities such as design, painting, coding, and video production.
I am able to express myself without restrictions.

Maybe I'm a little different from the average person, Even so, there is a place where you can play an active role, and a job that gives you value. I feel very lucky to have met you.

In the picture I drew this time, each color represents a person, While each person maintains their individuality and is protected by their claims, By gradually interacting with other people and blending in, An ideal world that is colorful yet harmonious It expresses becoming.
