Hygge (F12)

「また何かの一年生になる勇気が自分にあるか」


hygge という単語は、デンマーク語で「勇気、慰め、喜びを与えること」を意味します

何を思って書いたのか聞かれることが多いので
以下説明。

私にとって絵を描くことは新しく始めた挑戦であり、特技でもなければ将来のためになることでもないです。

ただ純粋に描きたいという欲求から描く行為は私にとって慰めというか癒しになり
特に特技でもないし自分だけで生み出したものをSNSという公の場に出すことは勇気が必要なことで

色々経験してきた結果、私の描いた絵が誰が1人にでも刺さればいい、喜ばれたら良い、自分だけでも感情のアウトプットに喜んだらいいという思いが

たまたまこの1単語に集約されました。

これはタイトルをつける時に思いついたものです。

描き始める時、どんな強い感情があって描いていたのかというと

今後の進路を考えてるときに
また何かの1年生になる勇気を自分が持ってるのかなっていう感情と(芸術に対しての覚悟)

まあ別にそれを恐るほど積み上げてきたこととか無いよなっていう(今までやってきた起業やビジネスについての経験への執着)

勇気や覚悟についての感情を抱えていました。
同じように新しいことに挑戦してる誰かのもとにこの絵が届いて、この絵を見るたびに励まされるような、初心に帰らせてくれるような絵になったらいいなと思います。

'Do I have the courage in myself to be a freshman at something again?'


The word hygge means "to give courage, comfort, or joy" in Danish!

I'm often asked what I was thinking when I painted this.
I explain as follows.

For me, painting is a new challenge, not a special skill or something guaranteed to benefit me in the future.


It is not a special skill for me, nor is it something that is guaranteed to help me in the future, but the act of drawing out of a pure desire to draw is comforting or healing for me.

I am not particularly good at it, and it takes courage to put what I have created out into the public arena of social networking sites.

As a result of my many experiences, my desire that my drawings would stick with even one person, that they would be appreciated, and that I would be pleased with the emotional output, even if it was only myself, was consolidated into this one word.

It just happened to be summed up in this one word.

This is what I came up with when I titled it.

When I started drawing, what kind of strong emotion was in my mind?

When I was thinking about my future career path.
I wondered if I had the courage to be a first-year student of something again (preparedness for art).

I was feeling that I had never accumulated enough to be afraid to throw it away (attachment to my studies and experience in entrepreneurship and business).

I had feelings of courage and determination.

I hope that this picture will reach someone who is trying something new as well, and that every time they see this picture, they will be encouraged, and that it will make them go back to their original intention.
