Night in Cherry Red

When you are thinking of yourself, it may not be that you’re always facing yourself precisely.
But it must cause great fear to disrupt yourself in order to have a complete objective point of view.
Recognition of the self and others, this is the theme of my work.
Our daily life is full of contrasts. Every difference makes us, and we like them to be balanced somehow.
The entrance to a different dimension is found from the comparison or the converse points of view.

A man and woman appear in an unusually red atmosphere in this story.
They hardly look at each other.
Particular love does not seem to intervene between them. The two do not know why they are together.
The characters in this story are embodying those who cannot look directly at themselves.

The two characters are in fact the very same person in this story.
