Besides hope, I believe that love is other thing that can fulfil our lives. This artwork is inspired from the Tanabata festival in Japan, which is the mythology about the love of 2 stars - the weaver girl (Vega) and the cowherd (Altair). A flock of cranes would gather and, with their wings, create a bridge for the princess (Orihime) to cross the river, and reunite with the cowherd (Hikoboshi) at the milky way. In Japan, Tanabata is another famous festival: there are cerebrations, there are lanterns decorations, there are people writing wishes on a small piece of paper (Tanzaku) and hanging them on the bamboo branches (which is believed as the place where God lives)- thus, this artwork portrays the voyage of wishes to God. Since this special day only happens once annually, people do believe that their wishes will become true, as Orihime's wish does. Image size 4961 x 7016 PX 300 DPI
