The swaying and overlapping light creates a myriad of blacks and vivid colors.
The black reflective surface absorbs most light, and has a richer expression than any other color, with different expressions showing different looks depending on the material.
Space, cave, womb...
The space that exists in dim light evokes all sorts of origins and has a nostalgic and comfortable quality as a space that has been familiar to humans since ancient times.
Black, which is also reminiscent of darkness, is the color closest to its natural state and is the origin of all things.

Black holds great potential that has yet to be discovered.
