「小さなものたち」
“Little Things”

In every community, the essence of daily life is intricately woven from the smallest elements—people, culture, rituals, and the natural world. These seemingly minor components, from the grandeur of ancient castles to the delicate presence of trees and insects, form a vital ecosystem that sustains and enriches the community.
This work is a tribute to these subtle yet profound elements that underpin our collective existence. We seek to capture the interplay between human endeavors and the natural world, celebrating how everyday rituals and cultural practices are deeply rooted in and sustained by the environment around us.  To highlight the beauty and significance of the small things that often go unnoticed but are fundamental to our shared experience.
In depicting castles as historical witnesses and insects as unseen yet crucial actors, I emphasize the interconnectedness of all elements within our community. Trees and plants symbolize growth and continuity, while daily interactions reflect the living, breathing culture that binds us together. Through Warli Language , we invite you to appreciate and reflect upon these integral parts of our ecosystem, recognizing that the health of our community is nurtured by the harmony and balance of both human and natural elements.
