Comment

This work is an original visual work in which a carpet of flowers is presented with "blurring". I created this by maximizing the effect of blurring in which colors spread in a soft movement and make delicate changes. I would be delighted if viewers felt "I could never have guessed how beautiful blurring colors are". I owe my receiving this honorable award this time to everyone who supported me and encouraged me. I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to them.

Reason for Award

When one witnesses the thrilling development of "blurring" with light ruby colors as a motif, which makes us shiver, we are be enchanted by its unmatched beauty. But some said that this piece was still at the level of a study, and opinions were divided whether the festival should award a prize to this work. However, the jury ventured to gamble on the artist's capacity in future. This is the message from the jury to the artist.
