At the phoenix's nest, 不死鳥の巣にて

 The title of the painting is "At the phoenix's nest". With the recent series of paintings, I am visually chronicling my life events.絵のタイトルは「不死鳥の巣にて」。最近の連作は、私の日々のビジュアル記録のつもりです。

Guiding me through it その中を導かれて

 

"Catching run-out time". 「無くなる時間を捕まえる」

 

Phoenix's gift, 不死鳥の贈り物

A gift from an immortal bird is a pair of wing to fly. 不死鳥からの贈り物は飛翔のための一対の羽。

Kokoro no Tomo, 心の友

 Mayumi Itsuwa is popular in Japan as well as in some parts of South Asia, especially Indonesia. One of her songs called "Kokoro no Tomo"(friend of heart) became a big hit in Indonesia when the country was devastated by the earthquake and tsunami years ago. The song kept people's mind spirited and helped the country reconstruct itself. I got inspired by the song and its effect on Indonesian people, and this painting is based on the inspiration.

Here is the Youtube video of the song
