Epilogue

More than what we see in our daily lives
The joy and happiness of living through discovery

“How to see life in a special way with an artist’s mind,
“Seize the moment”

The sentences and photos in this book are from the scene.
We discover greater truths in the clotheslines in the alleys, in the birds on the wires, in the dust sparkling in the floor lights.
The author says:


“The artist’s gaze is not about looking up at the sky,
“It’s like looking down and discovering the stars above the ground.”

Readers walk through the author's writings and photographs, living with the affectionate and calm heart of an artist.
And you will gradually slow down your pace and find the leisure to discover a sparkling spot in your own eyes.
This book was written for such moments.
This is not just a sentiment depicted in this book, but a moment when the senses are truly restored in the reader's daily life.
It will happen very slowly but surely.


Chapter 1, 'The Moment When the Senses Awaken', begins with the perception of scenes that pass by like soap bubbles, wine glasses, and shadows reflected on a wall.
And in Chapter 2, ‘The Color of Emotions Walking Through the City’, I understand myself in my life.
Chapters 3 and 4 allow us to encounter nature, contemplate, reminisce, and listen to the voice of art through pauses and waiting.
The last five chapters conclude with the artist's wishes for the readers.
It speaks to the fact that it is not grand declarations, successes, or great discoveries, but moments, fleeting moments, the vivid recall of a single scene that keep us alive.


So, the author talks about ‘recovery’ in this book.
When your heart feels broken, when life doesn't seem to get any better no matter what you do, that's when you need art.
In times like these, we must take art like medicine, and in order to use art like medicine, we must first experience a sense of recovery.


If you feel bored with life being the same every day and unchanging, I hope this book will help you regain your sense of purpose in life.
Your life is artistic enough, you just have to discover it.
