                                                               The sensations and emotions of invisible memories fade and become vague as time passes. The moving memories of my daily experiences accumulate like small talismans, and eventually become a great source of nourishment that supports me from the ground up. When I encounter a moving sight in my daily life, or when I am overwhelmed by nature while traveling, I record that moment in photographs and words, and then incorporate the memory into the form of glass. I cannot directly touch the memory itself, but by recreating the colors of that moment in glass, I can make the memory exist semi-permanently. If I can recall past impressions and memories, it will be the greatest encouragement for me, who lives in the present, to move forward into the future. [...]
             
I hope that this will give you an opportunity to notice the beautiful colors of the Earth that are right there when you look around on your way home.
