By layering stickers with pictures printed on them, I created vivid colors and dark shadows, taking into account not only reflected light but also transmitted light.
And we are also preparing a page for sale.
Of course, this will be available outside of Japan as well.
Iβm still working on the price. This is very difficult.
This sales site will open within a few weeks.
Please wait.

Welcome to your reading ππππ ππ. Your future self has a message for you. Are you ready to open up your letter?
I am so proud of you. I see how you are maturing into this beautiful emotionally intelligent person that we are today. The efforts that you are putting into your healing journey right now? It means the world to me. We will be doing so much better soon, trust me, I know. I am already living this reality. Looking back at you now from where I am today, I can't describe the love and admiration I have for you. Thank you so much, for having it in your heart to learn to love yourself. Learning to understand yourself, being more compassionate with yourself, and learning to forgive yourself. You are in the process of becoming this wonderful, beautiful nurturing person. Accepting your emotions and your feelings, instead of ignoring them and distracting yourself from them is such a bold and courageous thing to do. And the fact that you have taught yourself to do this, I am so unbelievably proud of you. of us. I know you are currently feeling uninspired and as if things are not really catching on or moving forward. But do not worry, the work you are putting in at this time? It triggers profound changes later on. Do not give up just because you are not experiencing instant gratification. the long game is always the one bearing more fruits. Learn to trust yourself more. Keep your own promises to yourself. If you feel bored, ask yourself what you can do now? Big changes do not happen with big moves, they appear through building consistent small habits and fulfilling everyday tasks. They are all in your daily routine. If you want to be an artist, drawing every day is a habit that will get you there, etc. Whatever it is, we will make it, just push through. You do not have to be motivated, relying on a fleeting feeling to move forward in life is not sustainable. determination is, discipline is. And with those traits, you will learn to trust yourself and to rely on yourself. Investing in your relationship with yourself is so profound and important. I see you choosing happiness, and I see you healing. Accepting what happened and being aware of how certain experiences affect you and your POV is life-changing. Healing is simply that. accepting that whatever happened, happened. I know you might be a bit depressed and bored at the moment, but unlearning one's addiction to instant gratification (social media, etc.) is a tough process but one worth doing. instant gratification won't bring you any peace and happiness. Healing and changing your mindset does. I see the work you are putting into yourself, and I am so proud of the path that you are walking on right now. Trust me, all will be well as I know for a fact it will. I am the product of your current habits. We are on our way to becoming this determined, passionate, and confident queen. We are courageous, self-assured, and not afraid to be our authentic selves. Keep up your great work, for we will bear the fruits soon enough.
Reviewing our past is what will get us there. Changing our perception of things will do that. Allowing ourselves to shine will do that. expressing ourselves freely and being in our feminine energy will do that. You are currently in the process of integrating your shadow side with your light side, fully accepting who you are and not rejecting parts of you that you deem 'socially unacceptable'. You are healing yourself, getting ready for love. the biggest and most profound one of all times. the love for yourself. And how excited I am to reunite with you soon. I can't wait to have you see our reality today. Cleaning house is never easy. growth is never easy. But learning to be alone with yourself is the most intimate thing one can do. It's one of the best traits to have. I love how you are currently learning to be with yourself. How you are retreating and turning to your quiet. Be patient with yourself. take care of your health and nourish your mind and your body. Do not rush this process and let it unfold naturally, little by little. I love you and I am proud of you.

Welcome to your reading ππππ ππ. Your future self has a message for you. Are you ready to open up your letter?
I know you, I see you and I understand you. I know that you are currently facing a difficult choice and that you are indecisive about it or avoiding it altogether. You could feel like you are in a stalemate and as if things are not moving forward. This increasing unease within yourself is important and significant. Do not let yourself be fooled. You are exactly where you have to be right now. Instead of turning to your mind, turn to your heart. Listen to your feelings. What is your body trying to tell you? Are you afraid of something? Fear is always an indicator of interest, so whatever you are afraid of is worth pursuing. Are you waiting for something? or someone? Stop relying on things you cannot control, things that are outside of yourself. You do not have to be saved or found as you were never lost in the first place. You just decided to close your eyes to your own power. You got so comfortable with it to the point where you started to believe that it was never in you in the first place. But refusing to acknowledge something does not make it magically disappear. No matter how much you are trying to convince yourself, that you are not able to do it, your body knows better. Your soul knows better. And when it comes to your mind vs. your soul, your soul always wins. It's not about each individual battle but about the war itself. Being at war with your heart will always lead to you losing. Your soul will never back down and it will never stop giving you this feeling of unease until you finally do what you want and need to do. So stop waiting, and start acting. You are currently in a life-changing period. And I know very well how uncomfortable it is, but it is needed to shift and to transform and grow. Unfortunately, growth does not happen when we are comfortable, and we have been way too comfortable for a while now. A new beginning is approaching and we are looking forward to important changes and transformations. Some things can't co-exist, so we have to allow ourselves to let go of the old so we have space for the new. especially when it comes to our mindset. Allow parts of your perception to die so you can adapt new POVs. It's time to move on, my dear. Move on from what society is telling you to do, and listen to what you truly want. By moving on we will move forward. And you cannot imagine who we are changing into and what we are approaching. Prosperity lies ahead for us. Choosing the uncomfortable now will lead to comfort later. we will be secure and safe. independent and self-sufficient. And ultimately, we will experience a love we cannot fathom. Loving yourself leads to allowing others to do so as well. New love is approaching. A new relationship is approaching. And we will unite the parts within ourselves that have not worked together, our heart and our mind. We will do so because we choose to. We will be more open and we will trust ourselves a lot more than we do now. Also, we will speak comfortably, and be ourselves authentically.
There is so much waiting for us. I know you are afraid of doing this big move, I've been there. But again, making the uncomfortable choice now will lead to so many great things. Putting in the effort now will lead to big gains and the realization of long-term goals later on. We will be successful, so do not worry about failure, as this is definitely not in our stars. not related to this choice and not related to this path. You know that this is for us, you know that this is the way to go. And judging by where I am now, you will make the decision to do exactly that. By doing so, so many things will fall into place. You will meet your soul tribe, your people. The ones that are walking the same path as you. You won't be alone, even if this situation right now feels isolating. Listen to the signs that the universe is sending you. Our guides are sending you so many omens, and messages. Open your eyes and ears to listen to them, let them guide you. Trust the nudges. You've got this. We've got this. Also, never ever forget to take care of your mind and your body. Nothing is more important than your well-being. Leaning into your fears is the ultimate cure for them. So allow yourself to step into the unknown and learn. learn to your heart's content and get wiser, day by day. Allow yourself to do what resonates with you. This big step you are avoiding now, we both know it's what you want and what you need. You are only scared because you are afraid of the unknown. You know it will lead to better times, to more prosperity, and to success. Work on increasing your threshold for happiness. If you are afraid of doing this big jump, allow yourself to train for it. Do smaller things that are related to that and work yourself up to the big deal. Take it one step at a time. Your feelings now exist for a reason. And the reason is you following your path and being true to yourself. I love you, and I know you will do the right thing. You can have what I have by simply going for it and acting on what you already know.

Welcome to your reading ππππ ππ. Your future self has a message for you. Are you ready to open up your letter?
look at you standing in your power. You are currently in the midst of attracting your biggest desires and manifesting them into your reality. Never forget that you are the creator of your reality, and all the power lies within you. You are the only one who is able to affect and determine your tomorrow. Just you. All the tools you need are within you, you are so resourceful and talented. Your desires are yours the second you accept them into your life, fully and unconditionally. Remember it's not about the how. We should never care about that. All that matters is that it is and will. That's all that counts. Eyes on the prize my love! You can always revert back to your inner guidance. If you are confused or unsure, spend time in solitude and get to know yourself. Listen to your body and see what it signals you. You know that we are our own best guidance and support system. Go within to find your own personal truth, as this is all that ultimately matters. I see you connecting to your own intuition more, which is so amazing. I can't tell you how relieving it is, here in my future and this is all thanks to you. thanks to us doing the work and believing in ourselves. By accepting ourselves we will also learn to accept other people and the differences between us and others. We will become more open-minded because we open ourselves to our own minds. I see you and your desire to stop fighting yourself. And you will find peace, I promise you that. We will get there, I mean here I am writing this to you. We will get our head and our heart to cooperate. We will find a way to co-exist with our ego. agreements are sometimes necessary to find what isn't working. pain is always a redirection. facing your shadow self and accepting it will lead to so much more happiness. Stop obsessing over the material things and let's focus on growth. Because ironically, by doing so and following our intuition we will get to all our current desires.
Combine each fragment and part of yourself into a whole, into one. By arriving and understanding who you are, you are able to take action towards what you want, because you will know what you need in your life which makes it easier to follow. The world is at our feet and we can do whatever we want, so it is time to figure out who we are and what it is that we want to suffer for. because suffering is always part of human nature, so let's just make sure we suffer for the right things, and not the things that society expects us to suffer for (I.e. material wealth, etc.). Let's look within, and let's ask ourselves questions. Let's learn to know ourselves and align all parts of our identity. we are so much more than what we project or what others perceive. let's explore our likes and dislikes, and our interests and disinterest. let's pretend we would not know anything but we were able to choose from everything. no one is watching or judging. what would we do? let's brainstorm, decide and explore. let's understand ourselves. Let bygones be bygones. You do not have to piece every version of you together. It does not have to make sense or be harmonious. You are not one novel. you are made out of a lot of different stories. Whatever we are still carrying with us, it's time to look ahead and face the future by accepting the past. By getting to know yourself you will understand your worth and what you are capable of. So let's leave the past behind, yes? Instead, let's be curious. Let's figure things out, research, try out new things and experiences. There is so much you can choose from, and if you do not like your choice you are allowed to change your mind. Release what does not serve you and you can get to where I am today. β‘

Welcome to your reading ππππ ππ. Your future self has a message for you. Are you ready to open up your letter?
I see you making moves and I am so proud of you. You are taking steps towards your desires and I see and feel you. I see you making decisions quickly and not stalling anymore. However, do not forget yourself while making your moves. Reflect on your feelings and see what your body is trying to tell you. Do not give and do things that lead to you abandoning yourself. If you are not able to give yourself something, do not spread yourself thin for others as this will lead to lingering resentment. try to reconcile your heart and your mind to make efficient and strong moves. Keep your head and your heart in balance so you won't regret your choices. communicate your needs and negotiate if the terms are not to your liking. You are allowed to stand up for yourself, always. Move on from your resentments by accepting the situation and asking yourself questions. what caused this reaction? why are we feeling this way? am I really mad at them or is it because I am refusing to allow myself to do something that they are openly doing? You do not have to submit to your ego. There is always a way to compromise. I know that it is hard to reconcile two parts of yourselves that have been separated for such a long time, but putting in the work to restore balance within yourself will ultimately lead to peace. Not doing so or continuing to live that way will lead to disharmony, conflict, and regrets. remember that every relationship we have with others is an extension of our relationship with ourselves. how are we supposed to be honest with others if we can't be honest with ourselves? Do not worry though love, you will awaken to the truth, you will have a realization, and clarity will come to you, to us. Work on your mindset and you will find your life purpose. you are one decision away from getting to where I am today.
I know you are debilitated from your past. And I know you are uncomfortable with your current situation. But discomfort always leads to change. the second your current comfort is more uncomfortable than change is when a shift will happen. Do not wait and stay in this unbearing feeling, the outcome is the same anyway. You do not have to suffer through it. You can welcome this change dignified. Be strong, be courageous, and let it in. Do not force it to break into your walls and doors. Instead of taking a thousand detours and delaying the inevitable change, you can just take the stairs straight to it. you can choose the direct path. because ultimately all roads lead to Rome. It's time to act my love, I know you have been busy doing things but it's time to focus on what is truly important. you know that it is time. I know you feel it because I am you. And I know that choosing the uncomfortable now will lead to comfort later. You do not have to stay in this energy. Listen to the signs and do the work. Do not be so critical of yourself. do not overanalyze everything. You are organized and we both know you will do it well. the devil is in the details. If you feel stuck then go out and seek inspiration in unusual places. we are the most creative when we are doing something and feeling alive. so go find the strength within you to go for it and just make the best out of the situation at hand. I love you and I can't wait for us to meet in the future to become one.
βAn aquarium hangs from the ceiling. I light the aquarium with the light of a mercury lamp, and shine the shadows of the ripples in the water onto a white floor. In this way one has the impression that the floor is covered in water around twenty centimeters deep. Visitors can dip their feet into this imaginary water.
Water drips into the aquarium from a device above it. Sometimes the drops fall randomly like raindrops. Sometimes they fall around and around, like playing tag. Sometimes the drops fall all at once, and the ripples make geometrical patterns like flowers.β
