Stained glass filled with light is simply beautiful. To express colors that I had always created in pigments in stained glass, I worked in close collaboration with a specialist. I hope this work evokes the diverse and exotic spaces so compelling to the traveler’s muse.

A great living force beyond space and time
People come and go, and come again
A wonderful land blessed by the sky, the ocean, the mountains, its people and the spirit of language
