Explanation:Awakening
This artwork, created using Kota's unique painting technique, Cosmic Rhythm.
This approach respects the natural patterns of wood—designs born from the vast forces of nature, Earth, and the cosmos itself.
The grain of the wood is seen as a visible manifestation of the cosmic rhythm—weather, gravity, seasons, planetary rotation and so on.
By painting in harmony with the cosmic rhythm, I, as a human being, express Oneness—the idea that all is interconnected.
This concept is influenced by the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha (624 BCE – 595 BCE), who spoke of "Dependent Origination"—the principle that all things exist in interrelation.
