“Make-up your future.”
Shindo’s comment on Thoughts on the work
I myself found that attending SABFA was a turning point for me, not only in terms of acquiring techniques, which I am now using, but also in terms of the importance of continuing to learn and meeting highly motivated people. I hope that many people come to SABFA and gift themselves time to "learn.” I created this work with this wish in mind. I used ribbons, flowers, tulle, and other items that I associate with the word "gift" in my own way. Because these items are easy to understand, they tend to be just ordinary and pretty, so I tried to add a sense of being out of place and playfulness to them.
