Statement
SUISOU - water
Nobody knows the real me.
I do not even understand the real me.
Nationality, Gender, Status,
Occupation, Academic underground, rumor.....
People see me with stereotype
throught filter such as.
I also categoraize people.
It may be necessary to survive in this society.
I have been taking myself
many interesting my expressions.
How do you see me?
KASOU - flower
Humans body passes away eventually
But we have a function leave out descendants between man and woman
Inside the children which we give a birth
Our own DNA still alive
Flowers also passes away someday
But they have a function to leave their descendants by themself
The life cycle which they have are sprout, grow, bloom, and drop a seed
They do their best to keep that cycle and keep to connect their cycle
How long does this everlasting loop keeps on going
I think I'm same with flowers
FUSOU - wind
To die is to live.
To live is to die.
We are born with a mission and die fulfill it.
After we will reborn with new mission.
Reincarnation
Limited time
Our last day when we cannot know
Nobody knows anything.
We live as the wind.
I face all and I stand tall and do my way.
