作家のことば
ベネチアカラブラーノ島へむかう船から、小さな島に朽ちかけた建物が見えた。のちに調べてみると１４世紀の初め頃小さな修道院が建てられたそう。その１２７年後に最後の修道女がなくなり空のままになったと言う。そんな物語と、海の中に静かに佇む長い時を過ごしたであろう
その姿に惹かれて作画した。

From the boat heading to the island of Calabrano in Venice, I saw a dilapidated building on a small island. Later research revealed that a small convent was built there around the beginning of the 14th century. It is said that 127 years later, the last nun passed away, and the building was left empty. I was drawn to that story and the sight of the building, which must have spent a long time quietly standing in the sea, and created the artwork.
