is Mayu – Cocoon – a state of metamorphosis. Inside exists
a Being neither living nor dead, captured in its fragile and delicate
yet strong and nutritious cover. Here it rests, receives new energy,

Butterfly
Captured in its cocoon
Awakening
Time to hatch
To tear down the walls
And spread out the wings
Time to fly
To dance with the sun
And play with the wind
Time to soar
To touch the sky
And to enter a new world
Yet,
Winter arrived
Before spring blossomed
And Butterfly
Retreated into its shell
