Daidanen: A fairy-tale ending where the characters in the story live happily ever after.
I thought of a way to create a design by writing something like a poem and then expanding the worldview. I thought this would be interesting for my 150th artwork.
The poem that I wrote is as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------
Title "Promise"

Sometimes, a tiny promise can become a hope or an oath to live for.
A small, casual promise can sustain a person for many years.
The person you made the promise with may have forgotten such a promise way in the past.
But you will live with the mission of fulfilling the promise.
The road to fulfilling the promise is extremely difficult.
Even if you fulfill the promise, the person you want to tell and share it with is not with you anymore.
Still, you keep walking.
When you've walked for a long time, and lost track of how far you've walked, the promise is finally fulfilled.
At the same time, that means it is time to truly say goodbye to the person you made the promise to.
Nobody knows what lies in the future.
But still, we take a new step, one at a time, seeing hope in the distance.
