I believe the fundamental energy of humans has remained unchanged since ancient times. I used the snakes and flames that appear in mythology to express the revolutionary life force that is unleashed when the survival instinct and creativity come together. Having experienced significant losses at home and at work in recent years, I found myself feeling unmotivated to do anything. So I decided to let go of the attachments that had previously been my driving force, and to dig up and visualize the moments within myself when I was driven by excitement and pure emotion.
