In this composition, I feature six gourd shapes to create captured souls which are covered with the vagueness of webs. I have always had a fondness for gourd shapes as they resonate with the symbol of infinity. For me the shape has some kind of solidarity and calmness. ‘Gourd’ has a lucky meaning in Japanese culture, six gourds especially means to pray for being in sound health. Some people carry charms with six small gourds. ‘Mubyou sokusai 六瓢(無病)息災’ I pray in Japanese.

六瓢 mubyou: six gourds

無病 mubyou: no sickness

息災 sokusai: sound health
