Since the second summer of the COVID-19 Crisis last year, followed by the winter when the war started this year and since then, I have been surprised to find what had seemed to shine before appears to be gradually losing its luster. Familiar landscapes have become more and more faded and grey. This mental phenomenon reminded me of the world end described in the Old and New Testaments over thousands of years. It accounts for the moon ceasing to shine and the sun becoming dark. When light ceases to shine, color is lost. But at the same time, the apocalypse tells us that the world will restore from this will be beautiful and full of color. The apocalypse has not yet come true. That is what I am waiting for finally.Is this ridiculous? I created this work in order to face this crucial question for me.
