Theme: “Joy, anger, sorrow, and delight / twists and turns, and life goes on.” Life is full of all kinds of emotions and many twists and turns. Through it all, time keeps moving forward, leading toward the future. I wanted to depict that journey as a drive, introducing a variety of motifs through collage and tracing the path all the way to space. First, I drew a map and structured the piece as if traveling through those places. The map used as the foundation shows the route from my parents’ home to downtown Hiroshima, but places with special meaning for Taiking, such as Enoshima, also appear. As this is meant to evoke a road movie, the piece also draws heavily on films by Wim Wenders.

“This is a music video designed specifically for naps, helping to enhance creativity by taking you through a nap and then waking up while you watch. It consists of two parts: sleep music and awakening visuals. In particular, the colors and idea framework of the awakening visuals, the unfolding of the piece, the pitch of the music, and the lyrics will awaken your creativity.
