The Sahara Desert in Morocco and the black sand beach in Iceland are the places where I feel the most about love during this trip. In the Sahara Desert, I met a couple who were driving me to the Sahara Desert. They had a small rickshaw, and as I sat in the back seat of the rickshaw with the North African sunset shining down on me the whole way, it was as if I was their child, feeling the energy of love that the couple exuded. In Iceland I felt the loneliness at the end of the world and the sense of death and isolation that the black sand beaches gave, like the state of being when you lose your true love. In his last letter to his daughter, Albert Einstein said that love is the most powerful energy in the universe. Love can dissolve everything, has the magic power to melt ice and snow, can heal all the suffering in the world, and even change the world. The energy of love is also the most primitive energy in the universe, so it would be more powerful for me to express it in primitive mineral pigments. And love is us at the beginning of life, the baby. In my perception, the human body and the flower are both kind of about living beings, so I am also expressing a symbol of life. The fiery red of the desert and the icy blue of the black sandy beach are both the best symbols of love intertwined and entwined, as well as a symbol of the high frequency energy that emanates from life after it has become self-sufficient.
