go

That day, I felt a very gentle sensation.

A “go” that could softly support me.
Not a forceful “go”, but rather
A warm, kind, and light feeling that enveloped me.

I think that there are various ways to encourage someone.

Various nuances exist in go,
Not only “move”, but others
Such as depart, advance, and rise.

Many people behold this work,
And express to me that, “it is like an embryo.”
Although I myself did not imagine it that way,
When I behold each person’s outlook, each person’s expression,
I always think, “how intriguing.”

This artwork is one that I created
After my beloved grandmother passed away.

Even if I wasn’t conscious of it,
I might have sensed something
Connected to her life.
