The six printed canvases(made by pixel unit) you see are children of ‘their mother art work’, 'In Active Inheritance' which She submitted on this contest to the video art section.

She would like to ask you some question. What came to your mind when you saw these phrases ? What do these phrases refer to ?
To give you a hint, It is what every brand, every artist is desperate to own this and puts a lot of effort into owning it. And this has to do with true beauty, true authority, unshakable vitality.
Yes, there was an answer on the title, a phrase about the characteristics of the essence of beauty.
Let's us think about it. What do you think is the essence of beauty ?
And how do you think you can recover it ?
Furthermore, What is the essence of human beauty ?
Now, let's imagine it together. When you're faced with a landscape full of life of nature, or a complete system of order that they have, or when you come across a harmonious and orderly landscape of the universe's energy that provides this vitality, We feel profound wonder and beauty. We experience ecstatic happiness.
Humans always yearn for full beauty. This may be one of the reasons why art exists. But for us human, beauty is like a rainbow. We can see and chase, but can't own. Beauty..
Humans are part of nature, but strangely, Humans are not like nature. Although we are so enthusiastic about and trying to possess the beauty of nature, the artist think that We, maybe most of the people including herself, live far from the absolute order which is the filled with the essence of beauty that we are enthusiastic about. Then, why can't we be one with the beauty we want so much ?
The artist says, maybe it's because we don't have the opportunity to experience and recognize the essence of the beauty. Because of the misunderstanding of the nature of beauty, because, we don't really know what it is. So we do not(can not) approach the source of life(essence of beauty) that is constantly creating beauty, and all eyes and minds remained in a state where were fixed on the surface of the beauty. Our mind is fixed on the desire to possess the surface. If that's not the case we seem lost the power and will to pursue beauty anymore. Some time or often in the city we can see the scene that we human want to monopolize beauty like the characters in the movie Lord of the Rings. Without knowing the principles that cause that beauty.
By the way In contrast, the organic life activities of all things in nature, unlike humans, maintain harmony entirely due to the will planted in them from the beginning. And peculiar point is that humans can actively observe or Utilize any of these things, or even treat them carelessly. Furthermore, human can destroy all of them as if they were in a separate position from them. One after another, these following thoughts comes up
* Human being, inferior to nature in beauty
* What nevertheless, has the power to destroy and dominate all things
* But still we are being parts of nature
What we are !! ?
What on earth human !!
Will one day we, like all other natural objects, be able to show the full beauty of wonder and ecstasy ? As consistently as any nature ?
And is it possible for me myself to have that beauty ? While I am alive ?
About these questions, The artist wants to share her idea the realization still growing, in through this work. To others as the position of a domino or a puzzle piece.
The creator of "The Essence of Beauty," delivers that humans, like all other
natural beings, can bloom their own complete beauty. We can make them all the nature being feels surprising, touching big time from us. As even as the level of the being with the high authority as a man who rules everything. How can we do that ?
Humans, unlike all other things, have the ability and intelligence to learn indefinitely. also has an infinitely evolving solidarity. Also has the power to transform the real world into something completely differently ( in a direction to positive way or negative ), using all types of, intangible tools.
If human really want with this divine power, We can create a win-win system that goes beyond your imagination with the natures, and enjoy happiness with them fully. can achieve amazing co-prosperity. If we really want to do!! If we.
If we really really want, We can find a way to share and enjoy profits with others and with all things in nature in a very beautiful way, beyond what we can imagine.
We can find enough a way to share and enjoy the benefits of all things with nature. If we really want. And if we want to, we can learn that method through training, and We can also find A way to establish it as a beautiful custom.
Yes, human can also find and devise systems for the future for way passing down such a amazing civilization as a real legacy. If you want to. If you really want to.
Moreover humans also have the time and historical ability to learn from history, to receive the legacy that history has left behind. Therefore, humanity, who are awake to historical and temporal, We can simultaneously upgrade value of the present, past and the future values at same time on the time of the present.
The past exists for today and today for tomorrow, so the value of the past and the value of the future change depending on how we deal with the rich lessons and truths we made yesterday now. People of the past have given away tangible and intangible heritage with the wishes for us today, and the legacy, How the descendants who can receive it understand and realize it, will bear the fruits planted in the past, and the meaning of the past, present, and future will be further upgraded thanks to the temporality.
As such, humans also have the ability to realize temporality and historicity. We humans are beings with tremendous capacity and tremendous potential, more beyond What we've been seeing and thinking about. So if we just want to do it, We can find All the way to manage and develop all of this safely, and with such good power and wisdom, you can govern all things with unprecedented benefits. That's what position of human being among all the nature. The only unique position of man.
We have a lot of capabilities and We can develop them indefinitely,
but because we misunderstood the direction in which we should use them and misplaced them in the wrong direction, individuals and communities have had tremendous limits on the growth of creativity, by the laws of nature Also, we are ignorant and have treated and consumed everything recklessly.
But now if we cherish everything, help everything, following the order appropriate to "human's unique position " and learn the prosperity diligently, Then, We will surely regain our original form like a shining swan. Unnecessary misunderstandings, such as inferiority and feeling of self-destruction, that were trapped in a cage like a tee in a gem, Will no longer have a place in us. By then, we will finally see The human flower fields that All things have not seen. Humans will no longer see the beauty from the outside, but will see the beauty inside of self, live with a complete sense of homogeneity of beauty with the universe, and we will also be the happiest beings as the body of beauty as one.
