[Judge's comments]
My first impression was that the very cute designs were eye-catching. The simple composition carefully depicts people swimming, floating, and enjoying the beach at their own pace.
The beautiful balance between the sea and the color scheme is balanced, and the way the space is adjusted also gives a sense of style. Within the broad surface of the water, lively and tranquility coexisted, and as I watched it, I could feel a warm worldview that made me smile.
While each person has a different atmosphere and movement, the whole story creates harmonious scenes, and this work shines with a gentle, soft interpretation of the theme of "Harmony."
[Comment from the author]
The theme of "harmony" resonated with my heart, especially in its emphasis on diversity and personality.
Inspired by this theme, I decided to portray people relaxing together in harmony with nature. We chose the sea as a symbol of peace.
The sea fills the space between the figures and creates balance without visual noise.
Within the limited tones, we chose a color that could express skin tone, hair, and clothing. By combining these colors, we created unique characters that reflected the beauty of human diversity.
