My first impression was that it had a very cute design that caught my eye. The simple composition carefully depicts people swimming, floating, and enjoying the sea as they please.
The color balance between the sea and the characters is beautiful, and the sense of space is also evident. The expanse of the water's surface exudes liveliness and tranquility, and as you look at it, you can't help but smile, conveying a warm view of the world.
Although each person has a different atmosphere and movement, they create a harmonious scene as a whole, and this work shines as a gentle and soft interpretation of the theme of "Harmony."

The theme ``Harmony'' particularly resonated with me as it emphasizes diversity and individuality.
Inspired by this theme, I decided to depict people relaxing together in harmony with nature. I chose the sea as a symbol of peace.
The ocean fills the space between the figures, creating balance without visual noise.
Within the limited range of tones, I chose hues that would express the skin tone, hair, and clothing. By combining these colors, we created a unique character that reflects the beauty of human diversity.
