「 静かに佇むボトルビープル。彼らを作っていると不思議と心が落ち着きます。」
(A Bottle Velvet in the Silence. I am not thinking that my heart is in the right place.)
The quietly standing glass bottle created by a Japanese artist Takeyoshi Mitsui presents both uneasy and calm feelings. The glass is fragile, and so is the heart. Even if the mouth of the bottle is small, we can quickly inhale negative energy; even if we let go of our anxiety about health and loneliness from social distance, there are still traces of water in our bodies, which is a testament to this era. Life is unpredictable, and we will hear all kinds of news from people who are full of lies. We shall look within ourselves and form a greater connection with nature's tranquility to heal our soul.
