Dream came true, a pair of butterflies | enameled copper, sterling silver, silk thread 37x9x3cm 2021

A pair of butterflies fly into a forest full of silver drop flowers and bleeding hearts flowers. Butterflies enjoy playing in pairs in the flower garden. He and I were butterflies that were flying together in a garden in a dream. At that time, I was him, and he was me. We were flying around in an ecstatic forest full of silver drop flowers and bleeding hearts flowers. Scent, wind, air, we shared everything as if we shared our senses. We saw the same things and felt as well. Even after I woke up, I still felt like the butterfly in the dream. We are one and still looking at the same things. We say that something beautiful is beautiful, and something sad is sad. We were one, after all. Being together, we are full of joy and pain and dreaming of our hope. We are sure that the end of this dream will be full of happiness, and we will live together every day with the ecstatic butterflies’ hearts.
