2024 Collection Destination

Ryui 2024 Collection "Destination"

Because there is a front, there is a back
A left, because there is a right
And a summit because there is a base

There cannot be one without the other　Both are needed to make sense
Opposing mirrors
That pull, push, and move me
Waves of the heart　That appear with my light

If the light shines brightly　The mirror world can expand
If light fills all　Borders fade and blur
I can face the future　And be free

If the light fails　The world of the mirror shrinks
If darkness swallows all　The borders become a mass of shadows
Trapped in the past　And unable to move forward

For me,
I would choose both
I have a heart and body and time
So there is hope

Just as there are both top and bottom, left and right, front and back
There are also

Good and bad　High and low　Gain and loss
Fast and slow　Beauty and ugliness
And so on…

Daily life is filled with such opposites
If there’s a little good, there’s a little bad
Or if there’s a very good, there’s a very bad
Like mirrors opposing each other, each side seemingly aware of the other
Reflecting the other simultaneously.

And so each day our feelings are moved by these opposites
Gladness, happiness, confusion, worry
The complicated weather of the heart
The heart thus created
Is so different for each individual, we feel differently even gazing at the same object
Each person creates their own unique world.

Each day we follow our hearts, we live our own world
Within the limits of our physical bodies and time, compounded with the heart’s changes
We decide the limitless destination of our own hearts.

Let’s hope it’s a good destination.

What does “good” mean to me?
What does “good” mean to you?

Those are my thoughts.
