Prince, I ♥ & respect Ur spirit & philosophy
One Song | Prince
1999, and the illusion continues
One begs to ask, "when will it end?"
Unnatural disasters happen seemingly every week
Train crashes, shootings, nuclear accidents
Is there any place of refuge one can flee from this insanity?
Very few of mankind's creations are designed to make you feel good
Unless you get pleasure from seeing the human body
Desecrated by guns, explosions, fights
And any other things these so-called "artists" create
In the name of freedom, many have used art as a means to destroy the human mind
As an excuse to continue we hear "Art reflects society"
How many times has this lie been repeated: "creations are not real"
They say and yet any one of these people can call to mind
Images and complete scenes of horror in graphic detail
They will carry these so-called "unreal" creations around with them for the rest of their lives
These images are now a part of their being
In the name of recreation these people in fact are recreating themselves in their own images
Society then reflects art
In man's decision to further separate from God
His re-creation of himself leaves him in a dysfunctional state of confusion
The mind becomes a burial ground for dead waste
Isolated from the wholeness of God, Earth and his fellow brothers and sisters
This man seeks solace in activities he thinks will stimulate his mind
He begins downloading into his brain a series of manmade creations designed to destroy it
All manmade creations originate from one of two sources
The Tree of Knowledge or the Tree of Life
One of these trees contained deadly fruit, the other - Fruit of Everlasting Life
The one who disregards this fact recreates himself and his kind into extinction
You are reading these words on a machine created by man
As you read, you hear a voice speaking to you the words that you perceive
They make sense to you because you understand (stand under) the spelling
The words are what binds this spell to your illusion
When you hear the truth, like a memory
You recognize it and this recognition releases you from all illusion
Many languages are brilliant in their attempt to confuse you
Con meaning: against, fuse meaning: together
Words and their spellbinding illusions have the power to keep man separate from God
You were born in an all-knowing state of mind
The first words spoken to you begin the spell
The words come from one of two sources
The Tree of Knowledge or the Tree of Life
In ignorance or simply lack of respect for God
Many use words that confuse the minds of humans and turn them into projections of their own illusions
Because of this fact, many people grow up and blindly assume their pre-selected role
Under a dictatorship without even being aware of it
When asked what they are doing here on earth, most will answer with statements
That do not reflect their natural God-given desires
This creates a pyramid-like structure with the dictator on top
And each level under it knowing less and less
Upon reaching the bottom level - which is where the majority is
You will find chaos, disorder, and illusion
With ill as its prefix, illusion is a state of insanity
In the name of democracy, supreme power is vested unto the people in this insane state instead of God
A future re-created, to be ruled by man, is one of isolation and despair
Returning the leadership back into God will allow mankind to achieve its original collective goal
Which is union with God
Ideas contrary to this goal should not be blamed or persecuted - just simply ignored
They originated when man first chose to ignore God's rule
Simply put - in the beginning, the Human was made perfect in God's image
They had no need for knowledge
They were also given freedom of choice
The Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life are reflections of this freedom
The human is now a reflection of their choice
They could have simply chose not to choose
God being centrifugal in nature, freedom was the cause and choice was the effect
In knowing their perfection made in God's image, there was no need to choose
In fact, their were no needs
There was only love in an all-knowing state before the fall
The worst thing you can do is give up your God-given right to choose
For in it - you can choose not to choose
Therein is the final judgement
The illusion ceases and you awaken from your dream
Now the healing begins...
With an all-knowing mind, made in God's image
You can create as your Creator - God intended
With love, honor and respect for every living thing in the universe
Separation ceases, and we all become One Being singing the One song
I am the universe
The sun, the moon and sea
I am the energy
For that is what I believe
I can be contradiction
'Cause that is all I see
But I am the universe
And the universe is me
I am the one song (Ah yes)
And that one song is free
All things come from this one song (Yes they do, uh)
The garden and the tree
If everything, everything is present
What is will always be
This here is the first and the last song
And all that come between
When language falls like a wounded soldier
And it's covered by the sea
All the sadness
All these unanswered questions
Keep me company
(Company, company, company come to me, come to me please!)
Here at the center of it all
(I know)
I know that you can only come from me
(I am the universe)
Yes it will, oh, yes it will
(The sun, the moon and sea)
Where else is it gonna come from but me?
(I am the universe)
Oh my, my my my my my my my universe
(The universe is me)
(I am the universe)
(The sun, the moon and sea)
(I am the universe)
(We are the universe)
(The universe is me)
One truth
One song
One energy

Exhibition Overview
The MEMORY COLLAGE exhibition in the Miratap Osaka showroom presents contemporary art exploring the correlation between nerve cells and Fractal structures.
I will invite viewers into my unique vision by expressing the interplay between the flow of matter, connection and development, and the relationship between subject and space—within both the human body and the mathematical regularity—through the distinctive properties of various metals.

Sculpture and Pearl Series
＠Hong Kong
Collaboration Between Sculptor MARI HIRAGA and ISOWA PEARL GROUP
Overview
Mari Hiraga is now introducing a new artistic direction, the “Sculpture and Pearl Series,” which incorporates pearls both conceptually and materially into the existing Personification Series. This new series also links to the ideas explored in Mari Hiraga’s MEMORY Series.
The work, CORE, shown at this show will be the first ever unveiled from the “Sculpture and Pearl Series,” making it especially significant.
We are pleased to have the opportunity to present it in Hong Kong.
Series Concept
The circle of first principles.
The inevitability of life.
Necessity in chance
Captivating accumulation from multiple dimensions
Inner Life
Core held within
Overlapping layers of memory
Setting aglow the colors of self
Light from optical inference
Universality
A richness encompassing all
Quiet elegance
At the cusp of beauty
The luster of a precious gem.
Introduction
Born in Kobe in 1983
Mari Hiraga is a sculptor who emphasizes portraying the “human world” through personification, transforming narrative and ideas into organic artistic forms.
Mari Hiraga’s work encompasses several series: the Personification Series, which represents the human world through nature and anthropomorphic viewpoints; the Sculpture and Pearl Series, incorporating pearls both as a concept and as a material; the MEMORY Series, which explores neural cells; and the Live Sculpture Series, in which large-scale sculptures are created live in harmony with the sounds of instruments such as the nōkan, the Japanese transverse flute.
Mari Hiraga’s activities also extend broadly, including a projection-mapping presentation of the digital art, MEMORY, at Expo 2025 Osaka–Kansai.

Long-term Exhibition @ Osaka
This exhibition presents the silver-colored metal works of Mari Hiraga.
Echoing the season of thaw, silver shifts with light and rests like a quiet crystal.
As it melts, flows, and connects, the material reveals traces of memory and resonance.
We invite you to experience the subtle presence and transformative nature of silver color.
Concept
Silver light crosses the boundary,
reflecting existence
Melting, linking, and flowing
The crystals of memory
Flickerings of lingering silver
