About the Artwork

I expressed a shooting star among the sparkling stars in the night sky. As people have believed the influence of astronomical bodies since ancient times, they have prayed for peace whenever they saw a shooting star. I made this piece praying for children who are bearing the future to grow up in good health, and for people to be able to live peacefully. I expressed the shooting star with the figure running as if he were skating while spreading his streamline shaped cape with bright shell and gold and silver lines.
