I just can say it was a happening for me to joining in "The 3rd. Open art festival", but also I can say it was a really happy happening for me.

This is the first "performance"for me,but I don't know this is a work of "performance art".

In the festival, I called this work "Impression of Life", but I think it is no matter if there is no name for this work. I just would like to say I made this work for a my own opportunity to remember a beautiful impression in my life.

One of them is a scene that I was in a mountain of Nepal. It was the place has 3,500KM high.At there,I saw a woman who wash her hair with a little water in a bowl.

How precious that a bowl of water,how beautiful her colorful cloth,and long black hair.

And that was a film of Vietnam, one summer day, three sisters in there yard filled with green,t hey are chatting about their men with combing their hair. The twinkling light, swinging long black hair, and red gold fishes in the water.

Short of things, Nature, Life , and beauty ware tied together in my body.
It is a kind of beauty that can't be found easily in the world of consuming
