The importance of family, time with lovers, communication with people who live together. … I noticed the existence of "love" that is indispensable for our lives.
Christmas in 2020. Welcome to your house an art work or art book that feels "love", and feel healing, enjoy yourself, and enjoy a relaxing time.
