i {heart} work : college38

before i begin to write my blog entry today, i have to wish my fiance a very very happy birthday! it's so strange thinking about how paths cross. we are polar opposites and yet somehow the stars aligned and here we are today. some people think that they can accomplish things on their own, that they can step on, use, abuse others in order to get ahead in life, that as long as they gain something themselves, nothing else matters. for some, this may be their way of living life and everyone has a right to believe what they like. but i don't feel that i can live in this manner. i know that because of the support of others, their love and generosity, i am where i am today. i could not be doing what i love if it wasn't for the people who were there supporting me. it is not about what i can gain from others, but in fact, what i can give to people. my finace has showed me what unconditional love really means and because of him, i can tell people, "yes, i love what i do." thank you.

when viewing the work of college 38 created by textile/graphic designer + illustrator miwa akabane, it makes me think about the intimate interconnected relations we have in life. not just human + human connections, but with nature, ourselves and our surroundings. almost as if a whisper could describe the details of her work — quiet and yet attentive to details, subdue and yet has a specific message. if you don't pay attention, you might miss it, but if you take a moment to really 'listen', you could enjoy the 'conversation' with the piece. quite enchanting. makes me feel like summer is almost here...

wish i could bite into a cold, crisp, sweet watermelon while being shaded under a big tree...
