You’re not the only one under the rain (2023)

As the title ‘You’re not the only one under the rain’ conveys, this artwork carries a message of comfort: that one is not alone, even amid solitude and hardship. The scene is a mysterious, dark forest at night, softly illuminated by rain, with strange, small creatures (like sprites or kodama spirits) scattered throughout. These beings, all possessing large, round eyes, are either standing alone in the rain, hiding in tree hollows, or leaning against one another. The rain symbolizes hardship or sorrow, but the sight of all these creatures enduring it together suggests that individual suffering is not lonely but a universal, shared experience. The softly glowing figures in the darkness fantastically embody the spirit of solidarity and solace.
