I created most of the artwork in Reflections within the past 2 years, after much reflection on a range of topics: the loss and resilience of my family and other Japanese Americans who were incarcerated during World War II, my interpretations of the four seasons, and the beauty of elements in the natural world. While these sound like very different themes, collectively the works relate to one another and share a common intention to spur reflection and wonder.
