"Elephants. They are strong and raw and untamed. But at the same time, it's very rational, emotional and maternal."
"Elephants They are huge but quiet and unhurried and move in groups. There is stillness and peace hidden in the thick, wrinkly skin. Elephants, their primal wildness, resemble human nature. Human nature, human beings are beings in which ordinary, strange, and destructive figures coexist. They think that their actions are mostly conscious and willed, but they are actually governed by nature that lies deep inside them. What we see is just the result of being dominated by my inner strength, such as my thoughts and feelings. Humans are jealous, narcissistic and megalomaniacal at times. It also has a desire to pursue beauty. On the other hand, they find composure through their own reflection and insight.
"Elephants and humans are alike."
"They cry ferociously as needed, but they soon regain their calm and move into the woods."
"Elephants have been difficult in my life, but they represent the wandering of my youth when I didn't want to be hurt, which was longing for peace."

"Pink Shadow - Healing"
While I was working on painting Venus plaster in pink, I was overpainting the plaster with white primers to make corrections because I didn't like the color. Then, the protruding part of the plaster statue turned white into pink. It seemed as if the part that did not receive light had a pink shadow.
My dark shade, the dark past. It was a moment when dark emotions, such dark shadows, were colored pink.
As my painful memories and wounds were painted pink, I was comforted and comforted.
Arin's wounds healed and wounded repeatedly, and began to place pink shadows, not dark shadows, on the tough skin of the elephant, which had become hard and wrinkled.
