Draw a dragon in your mind

AlphaDrive Inc. President and CEO Yoichi Aso

Artwork Description

If you live as an entrepreneur, you will suddenly, from anywhere, and again and again. You will repeatedly feel despair and deep wounds that drag you into the darkness. There are many times when you think, "I can't do this anymore, I want to give up." But even so, what you need to get back up and move forward even if you are covered in wounds is the light of hope that outweighs the despair and wounds. No matter how many times darkness comes, you can take another step forward tomorrow by repainting it with hope each time. This work depicts the life of an entrepreneur. I hope that the work conveys the repeated visits of darkness and despair, expressed in dark and red colors, and the bursts of hope, expressed in bright white and yellow colors, that try to repaint it again and again.
