朱の舞Shu no Mai

2025 · Acrylic, resin


Artist’s note

Protection from evil, power, energy — vermilion is a color the Japanese have treasured since ancient times. Its energy lives on in traditional culture and faith: an eternal color handed down, unbroken, even to us today.

That we are endowed with deep history, culture, dignity and spirit. That we are connected to something greater.

You need no courage. Believing in your true self is what makes the difference.
