Happy New Year.
It's been a while since I encountered with
2014, yet I have spent lazy holidays by myself and didn't do anything festive,
so I haven't really realize it's probably time to stop and look back what I
have accomplished.
My 2013 was full of changes and experiments.
I really enjoyed my life in NY for the
first half part of the year. (No matter how much I hated the cold weather.) I
went back to Kyoto, Japan in July and then moved to Tokyo in October.
I did 7 jobs in 2013. (I count background
acting as one job regardless of the number of projects I worked on.) Most of
these are temp jobs. Length varied from 1 day to 2 months. Some says the life
of continuous temp jobs is not good. I agree with that, but I really enjoyed to
have this kind of period once in my lifetime. If I didn't do that, I would
never had a chance to go NY fashion week and glance at how fashion industry
works. That was the coolest job in my 2013.
And for my private life, I needed some time
to figure out what I really want. What kind of life I want, and that was the
crucial to look for my career. I know some, maybe many people think I consumed
meaningless time. Yet I am not regretting because I couldn't keep going anymore
without some time off. Well, of course I now have another concern in my life
but I'm glad that I can picture it now.
Overall, my 2013 was not bad. And what my
year made great is beautiful artworks. Here is the list of what I loved most.

I want to write details of each artwork,
but this post is getting too long. My love toward it can spread next time.
Art is where my heart is.
