“Pupa” by Mayumi Oshima (October 2013)
I restrain myself in a moment in the pupa
Conflict of ideas, then discouraged myself
I’m happy sometime, then disappointed of outcomes
I struggle to create ideas in the pupa
Confidence with my improvement,
Then I got blue from some mistakes
.
.
.
Even reflected with storm from my suppressed feeling,
I adventure to take a chance to see Mermaid.
Here are the outcomes derived from my pupa
Mayumi Oshima was born in Japan, and graduated from Division of Japanese Art, Department of Art, Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, Tokyo, Japan.
Recently she moved to Jersey City, New Jersey, for her independent art activity. She looks into her artistic motivation from her ordinary life and discusses with her soul.
She creates arts in the process of these artistic conversations. She thinks she isn’t matured yet … she struggles … she looks for her soul home.
