Hole in the Moonlit Water 月映の水にひらく穴

On the surface of moonlit water, a dark opening quietly appears.
Is it a distortion formed by the vanishing of the moon’s reflection—its illusory image?
Or perhaps it is a hole in perception itself, revealed by the act of seeing.
This painting evokes the shadow hidden within light,
and the absence that dwells inside illusion.
To see is not always to know—sometimes it is to sense what cannot be seen.


月明かりを映す水面に、ぽっかりと開いた暗い穴。
それは水に映った“月の虚像”が、欠けた瞬間に生まれた歪みか。
それとも、私たちの見るという行為が映し出す“感覚の穴”なのか。
この絵は、光の中にひそむ暗さ、虚像の中に潜む不在をそっと描き出す。
見ることの中に、見えないものがある――その沈黙の存在に耳を澄ますように。
