■Artist statement : "I have been fascinated by the universe since I was a child, and I have realized that we receive its blessings every day. 'Cosmo' also means 'harmony,' and I see the universe as something that heals our mental turmoil and feelings of isolation. I would be happy if as many people as possible could feel the 'love of the universe.'"
