"If Enveloped in Tenderness" draws inspiration from the timeless lyrics of Yuming’s song やさしさに包まれたなら (If Enveloped in Tenderness), a heartfelt ode to the warmth and wonder that kindness brings into our lives. This piece captures the delicate balance between the tangible and the ethereal, mirroring the song’s themes of being surrounded by gentle care and finding magic in the everyday.

The floral arrangements and sunlight filtering through the window symbolize the quiet beauty of life’s fleeting moments. Each flower, softened yet distinct, embodies the tenderness of cherished memories, while the translucent layers blur the line between reality and reverie, much like how the song invites us to see the world through a lens of kindness and wonder.

At the heart of the composition, a hummingbird hovers in the glow of light, a delicate yet powerful symbol of freedom and joy. Its presence evokes the sense of being uplifted by small but profound acts of kindness, much like how the song reminds us of the magic found in the simplest gestures.

The interplay of soft blues, pinks, and whites creates a serene, dreamlike atmosphere, reflecting the warmth and safety of being enveloped in care. The window serves as a metaphor for perspective—inviting viewers to look beyond the surface and embrace the tender connections that shape our lives.

Through this artwork, I hope to bring to life the emotional essence of やさしさに包まれたなら, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences of tenderness and the transformative power of kindness.
