In my hometown, I saw a group of fireflies springing up at the beginning of summer. Fireflies gather in places where the river meanders and the flow has moderated. The regularly flashing light is reflected on the surface of the water, and I'm not sure which one is real. As my eyes gradually got used to it, I was able to see signs of various things in the dark. I wanted to draw how the forest on the other side swings with the wind, the ripples created when water collides, and how countless lights drift in the air as the ground, the surface of the water, and the night sky mix and wobble.
