"The appearance of changing waves that are sometimes calm, sometimes rough, and sometimes even seem to have stopped... Waves that constantly move, rebel, and create colorful shapes in the sea… Isn’t it similar to our current life...? I wanted to portray the feeling and meaning of the waves to me through this piece."
