24 solar terms: heavy snow, 72 weather conditions: bears hibernate in their hibernation sites. This is the season for bears and other animals to hibernate for the winter. They eat nutritious nuts and sleep until spring. Snow piles up and they slowly go to sleep. A thick coat of gesso is applied and several colors of acrylic paint are layered on top and scratched with a fork. The colors melted together to create the ground where the snow was falling. In the midst of my new daily life, I have been thinking about the themes of "Though I cannot see them, they are connected" and "Though I cannot see them, they are dear to me" and I have also empathized with the concept of ancient Japan through my work experience related to shrines and the Kojiki. She is currently pursuing the expression of all things in the universe, flowers, birds, wind, and the moon, the four elements, and the 24 solar terms.
