I express sadness and depression in my colorless paintings. We sometimes feel moments when the
colors seem to fade when we are enveloped by loneliness and sadness. To me, achromatic colors
emphasize emotional depth and sincerity and express the essence of emotion without color. It often
shows the intersection of despair and hope. Sadness and depression sometimes follow the absence
of hope, but also the possibility of a new start and growth at the same time. I intend to express an
understanding of the nature of sadness, and that we can grow and discover new hope through
sadness.
