"Hikari Shimoda’s work is filled with love, perception, and care. Her art creation implements the role and perspective of a child’s observation of the world. This artwork features her signature character with a Mickey costume and bright hopeful eyes that conveys positive and boundless hope to the world and to the society. The meticulous method of colouring and the color palette used reflects on a Japanese animation style. This creation is another masterpiece of Hikari Shimoda."
