このわれも 海の藻くずと 消ゆるらむ 記憶の底に 潜みたるは何
海の藻くず
Area:Western Pacific
Country:Japan
I too will fade away as seaweed
Into the depth of the ocean
What should then remain buried in memory?
The painter is thinking, as she looks across the ocean, that all living creatures will ultimately return to mother nature. A question at perfection of life, or at death, is “what will remain at the bottom of one’s memory when that time comes”when she herself will one day be swallowed by the sea, like the seaweed.
