The theme of the exhibition, "With oneself as an island," is derived from one of the Buddha's teachings. (Saṃyutta Nikāya, 47:9) In life paths often described as '苦海 (A metaphoric word which means a hard suffering that never ends such as a sea),' we are looking for an island where we can rely on our tired bodies. It means that you should rely only on yourself and the truth.
