THE WISDOM OF YOU

Becoming a mother was a bit different from what I had expected. I never thought the growth of a child could be so interesting, so fascinating, so strange, and so inspiring me. Now there is a little boy, alive with so much energy, at my side as I work. And every day I watch and observe him.

Under the influence of his lively curiosity and youth, my zeal toward my work has increased all the more. So many questions cast my way, realizations made, fear, complexities, and his rapid growth.

One by one I slowly made each illustration, constantly thinking about the questions having no answers.---------by Hana Akiyama
