Reflection Eternal: For My Father Kazuo Tsuda

This work is inspired by the artist whose brilliance helped me sort through a prolonged period of darkness and suffering. Nujabes, the Japanese musician aka the "godfather of chillhop."

The air of Nujabes exemplified the spirit of the Buddhist mantra: man is ever-changing and ever-evolving. We are inseparable from the earth we inhabit, from our humanity, and notably from our ineluctable demise; which is rather portrayed as reintegration into the infinite.
