Artist's commentary
Camellia
I had a dream like this.
In the beautiful sunlight of spring, a girl smiling towards me.
I was drawn to the dotted line on her neck, and foreign characters were written to indicate its meaning.
cutoff line
Those characters that I had become used to seeing, that dotted line. What did they mean?
In the palm of the girl's hands she held a flower of camellia quietly.
And then she spoke eloquently.
■ "Seeing that kind of dream, are you an extreme flower personification maniac? There's no mistaking it, you're a fucking snuff boy."
■ It was a smooth kind of drawing where I somehow, at some point, noticed that the garden's camellias had come to shed their petals.
I don't really get it but that cutting line was the one thing that allured me, that made me come to understand that strange feeling of immorality today at around this time.
Well anyways, as I thought, that was a weird dream （・ω・*） *relief*
In the language of flowers, the red camellia carries the meaning "in love, to perish with grace"
