“Mugen” is a Japanese word that carries dual meanings:
“dream and reality” and “dream and illusion.”

In the fog, I felt myself dissolve into the landscape—mystical yet terrifying.
As digital experiences grow, we drift further from our analog nature.
But awe toward the overwhelming presence of the natural world grounds us in what is real.

The masked figure represents nature’s spirit.
In Japan, the fox is a messenger of the gods—a symbol of what lies between worlds.
