I created this panel inspired by the nature of Scandinavia where I lived from 2007 to 2008. I still remember the affluent nature and light produced as a result of the workings of the northern paradise. I initially painted the picture of "Komorebi" as the final scene of "Flying Wood Louse," a fairy tale I wrote in Scandinavia. This is one of my most memorable works where I challenged myself using a new blurred painting technique to depict metempsychosis and a new world after rebirth using the motifs of swans on a lake and Komorebi, or sunlight filtering through leaves.
