My Heart Floats in the Water | 2024
Medium: Moving images inside the pond, leaves, and soils
My heart, drifting and drifting,
Like floating watershield,
Shall neither reach the shore
Nor be carried to the open sea.
「我が心 ゆたにたゆたに 浮蓴(うきくき) 辺にも沖にも 寄りかつましじ」
This poem is one of the waka composed by Ōtomo no Yakamochi, featured in the Man'yōshū, Japan’s oldest anthology of poetry.
