The meaning of “Tsunagu” is “connect,” “join,” and “link”.
This is the shadowbox artwork submitted to the JPA 10th Anniversary Paper Art Contest. The theme presented in the contest was heartwarming. The following is the concept I wrote when I entered the contest.

The girl and the dog join their limbs. The plants and flowers in the background are connected to surround both. The illustration of the leaves on the outer frame was also drawn with connecting in mind. I expressed the theme of heartwarming by incorporating various “tsunagu” into the work.
