Akegata no Ao ni Miru Uchu: Cosmos (The Universe in the Blue of Dawn: Cosmos)

Beauty lives in tranquility. The beauty I perceive is accompanied by serenity and ephemerality.
This esthetic sense is completely in tune with karakami and exemplified in this piece. The transience of movement in a world of splendid patterns.

Brilliance and transience; the inextricable connection between the two awakens beauty. 

I found a microcosm in the blue sky at dawn, the silent world of beauty in birds heading toward the abyss. It is said that a long time ago people named the cosmos when they found beauty in the stars in what had been the seemingly chaotic and empty night sky.
