Comment from artist Miyako Yamazaki
Hello everyone.
For me, who paints to the rhythm of a small island,
it was a little difficult to deliver so many of my works far out over the waves,
but if you can find a moment that transcends time and space,
and a landscape that makes you believe that it's okay to be yourself,
then that difficulty will be insignificant.
Please find it. By the time the winter holidays come. Miyako Yamazaki
