Artist's commentary
[My Heart Will Go On] Mejiro Ardan
A runner gently dabs the sweat from her forehead. Her dignified profile reflects a noble spirit and willpower not deterred by adverse winds.
"Nevertheless, I will run."
Her legs are as delicate as a pane of glass. There are many who worry over the intensity of her running.
"Nevertheless, I will persist."
Her gaze remains fixed upon two silhouettes in the distance. One shines gloriously on the battlefield. The other carries a pale and fleeting desire. As she watches the distant two, a sense of impatience rises.
"Nevertheless, I will compete. I want to run with the pride I now feel in my heart."
And so, she steps forward and will continue to do so for so long as she breathes... no, so long as the path still stretches before her.
