The color of a small flower blooming by the roadside can put you in a positive mood, and that color of the ocean you saw long ago remains unfading and shimmers in your memory. Colors remind us of the precious things that exist in our mundane everyday lives.

That a single color can richly stimulate our imagination, and conversely, that a single image can arise from countless colors in combination may serve as proof that we are capable of accepting various differences and make connection beyond our preconceptions.

Moreover, it's because colors coexist with harmony and contradiction that I feel they also contain hints to explore our own invisible essence.

That rejection and acceptance are equally at odds and resonate with each other, and that no matter how many times we paint, we never arrive at a correct answer or an end gives me the sense that we are rather being challenged to demonstrate our resolve and how we intend to approach the diverse potentials that colors hold.
