「Beauty of the Quiet(静謐な美しさ)」

姉妹関係を通じて、田舎の純朴なものの美しさ、そして自然と繋がる必要性を追求しました。
母が住んでいた小さな村や、かつて姉妹と呼んでいた友人達の話を思い出します。
そして、もしも私が田舎に住んでしたら、何をしていたのだろう?と想いを巡らせるのです。

馬と一緒に野原をゆっくり歩いたり、早朝に雨が降った後に濡れた草の上を裸足で歩いたり、
あるいは、ただシンプルにその環境を楽しむのだろうか。

きっと、その静謐な美しさからインスピレーションをたくさん受けて、純粋に生きていくのだと思います。


Through the idea of Sisterhood, I try to pursue the beauty of pure and
simple things in the countryside, and the need to connect with nature.
Growing up amidst the constant hustle in the city, sometimes I recall the stories
I heard from my mother about the little village she used to live and the friends
she would make and call them sisters.

This makes me wonder what it would be like living in the countryside?
A slow walk in the field with the horses, walking barefoot on the wet grass
after an early morning rain shower, or just simply enjoying and being in the space between.

You can find inspiration through the beauty in the quiet,
the stillness and in this space, we just live simply.
