Not one

998×1058(×18mm)
Acrylic gouache, Embroidery thread

A painting.
A rectangle that fits nicely.
I can be satisfied with that one.

No!

It’s not just a cut out canvas.
That’s not the whole world.
That painting over there, that painting over here.
It’s all connected.

Not just one life.
You are not everything.
The world does not fit into one perspective.
Everything is connected.
Like organs,
We need each other.

If any part is lost,
If any part is cut off,
The world will die instantly.

Within each one, energy is connected.
Between someone and someone else, bond is connected.
Through that connection, the whole begins to function,
Only then life is breathed into it.
Everything begins to circulate,
Only then is the world complete.
