This is a personal work that came from childhood memories and images of my family. I made this for my graduation project over half a year ago and I must say that I am totally surprised to receive this kind of recognition. This award will be great incentive for my future projects. I would also like to thank all of the friends that squeezed into my small room and helped me with this work.

A red moon glows in the midnight sky. A young man walks the silent road,bearing what might be a flowerpot. The strange people he meets, the weird events that occur. This work, suppressing sound to the utmost,is brilliantly calculated to stir the imagination of the viewer. Its quiet lyricism follows in the footsteps of Kenji Miyazawa.A slightly disquieting dream,remembered from you don't know when... The grass in the background, drawn in red colors against the blue-black of the night,is truly beautiful.
