DREAM_16

This piece was created in a Zen state of mind, with the heart emptied and fully present in the moment. It seeks to harmonize the intentional lines—where blurred black ink and subtle fading resonate—with the accidental marks that emerge spontaneously.

The work features black ink on a white background, accented with red—a color scheme reminiscent of the Japanese flag—which emphasizes its identity as a distinctly Japanese creation.

The character written here is 夢, meaning “dream”. In Zen philosophy, the world we live in is as fleeting as a dream we experience in sleep, and it is precisely for this reason that each passing moment should be cherished.
