Award speech
Creating art is a great joy for me, and a time when I can truly immerse myself in it. On the other hand, I have always found it difficult to take my work outside of my studio and let many people see it. I am truly delighted that this award has given me a valuable opportunity to have my work seen and a great encouragement for my future creations. I would like to use this experience as a new starting point and continue to create art honestly and sincerely, following my own instincts.
