Monday is often associated with the phrase "Monday Blues," a hue of blue that perfectly captures the mood many feel at the start of the week. Yet, what truly connects us is the variation in how we experience it—each person carrying their own purpose, their own drive. While the feeling may differ for everyone, it’s not simply about the weight of routine. It’s also about the quiet strength we summon to move forward, driven by goals, dreams, and the hope for a better day. That shared push transforms the blue of Monday from a symbol of pessimism into one of resilience and possibility, reminding us that each new start carries the potential for something greater.

In the fast-paced rhythm of city life, where success and wealth are relentlessly pursued, the nourishment of the soul is often overlooked. Yuki’s Ephemeral Equilibrium reimagines the food pyramid, drawing parallels between material and spiritual consumption in an ambition-driven urban landscape. Amid towering skylines and neon-lit desires, she prompts reflection: Are we truly satisfied or merely feeding an insatiable cycle of wants? This artwork challenges viewers to seek fulfillment beyond luxuries, embracing values that enrich both life and spirit amidst the chaos of modern living.

Rain in the Heart

Artist Statement
Clouds are formed by the condensation of water vapor. They appear light and float in the air, but when they fall as rain, they feel heavy on the skin.
The artist wants to depict the state of clouds gathering before a rainstorm, akin to emotions churning deep within. Many seemingly insignificant emotions, like these water vapors, gradually accumulate into clouds. Clouds constantly change; some drift away with the wind, while others condense into thick clouds. When they can no longer hold themselves, they turn into a downpour.
