Artist's commentary
あの遠い夜の日に
わたしのトモダチはテペウ兄と、
いつも見守ってくれた太陽(アナタ)だけだったけど。
他のどんな人類より、
波瀾万丈で、愛に満ちた人生でした。
6600万年かけて、
あなたたちと同じ彼方(ソラ)を目指す、
人類になったのです。
―――これは在りし日の絵画。
すべてを平等に扱い誰もが尊い樹海の中で、
小さな特別が生まれた、かつての星降る夜の姿。
そして君は思い描く。
誰かと同じであることを、誰もを同じに扱うことを忘れて、いくつもの過ちを繰り返しながらも自由な旅に身を躍らせる、彼らの冒険譚を。
That Faraway Night
My only friends were Tepeu and you, the sun, who always watched over me. But our lives were more filled with twists and turns and love than any other form of humanity.
After sixty-six million years, we finally became humankind, just like you, aiming for the same sky...to the beyond.
This is a painting of bygone days, a tiny, special something that came into being in that sea of trees where everyone was treated with equal value and respect: two people watching the ancient stars fall. And you're the painter, drawing our adventure in which we traveled wherever we pleased while repeating our mistakes, forgetting that everyone is the same and is treated the same.
