When I climbed a mountain as a child,I saw birch trees first. There were a lot of birch trees which were tall, slim and dense. I felt cool and lonely at that time. That image is similar to me. I have lived abroad for four years. I sometimes have had a hard time adapting and have been ignored. I have been changed a lot, especially my personality and my thoughts. It was natural for me to be alone. I have steadily become a cold-hearted person because I survived in this circumstance. But I am not weak and vulnerable. So, I combine my strength with coldness and hollowness of a birch three. And I use the ink to represent the Oriental feel.
