Using the combination of the two cultural art element which represents my Japanese American identiy, I portraited my gratitude towards my luckiness of my life. With all the poeple who supported me, I am able to study art in the wondeful environment in California including UC Berkeley, and having peaceful life which allows me to watch Japanese animation. By incooperating the feeling of the gratidude to my body, I focused on painting intuitive which allows to me express my pure feelings towards people who supported me. Furthermore, this work encourages me to keep stepping forward, use the chances that came with my luckiness, and do everything I can for the myself and people who supported me.
