To be dishonest. You feel as though you can't say what you truly feel from the heart and keep it inside until it wells up, and you just live a lie.

Especially when it comes to those you care for the most.

Bought this piece today at MegaCon. Looking at some of the works before even seeing the titles and they display the emotions so clearly. Keep up the amazing work!

Or has she, for [reason here], been forced to act upon an ethical dilemma... The mask representing a persona that she did not particularly enjoy taking.

I don't want to say anything because I'm not very good with words and I'm afraid I'll offend you. Just know that this touches me deeply.

Truth of self concealed
Breathing is hard behind it
All the more I smile.

Akirakirai, this artpiece and its theme inspired me to write this haiku poem. A long time ago my art instructor told me that good art transcends its time. I think your works of this kind provide a refreshing interpretation of the darker nature of the human condition. I especially like the way light and dark contrast, as if each is vying for mastery over the other. It's a very real testament to the push and pull within all of us, and the ways in which we choose to express this, as in "kirai" versus "suki". Thank you for sharing your talent :)
