"Journey South" is inspired by the extraordinary migration of monarch butterflies. Each year, millions of these delicate creatures travel thousands of miles from North America to the forests of central Mexico—a journey driven by endurance, beauty, and instinct. Their epic flight reflects the cycles of nature and the powerful pull toward home. This journey resonates with me deeply, as I, too, return to my homeland of Japan each year, guided by a similar desire for connection and renewal. Journey South captures both the butterflies' extraordinary voyage and my personal reflections on the emotional landscapes of these journeys—longing, wonder, and joy—that call us back to our roots.
