Thank you for a wonderful year!

Winter solstice has passed again this year and there’s only a little time left. The current world situation has made us deeply consider the essence of “living,” but I believe that everyone inherently possesses the duality of “good and evil” and “Shadow and light” In the midst of that, I feel that universal love, which can provide us with a sense of hope in moments of happiness, exists. I have also incorporated such feelings into next year’s calendar.

I am grateful that I was able to travel to many places for research again this year, and spend time with a sense of gratitude and awe towards the great outdoors, which encouraged me to expand my consciousness towards my own truth.

Although I am a very powerless person, I am able to live because many people have supported me. For me, the essence of drawing and expression is self-exploration. If I can find meaning in it, then I think I will continue to draw with prayers for those who live in the same era as me.

With gratitude for all past and future encounters, I wish for peace to come to all people. Please have a good year ahead.

Ellie Shusen.
