I Hear You in the Distance　 10F (53 x 45.5cm) 　by Satoshi Kanai

It captures emotional depth and introspective moments.

This painting explores the connection between hearing and the inner world, depicting the subtle expression of human emotion. A man is depicted in the picture. The background is white and gives a bright impression.

Although the man is in an unusual pose, his facial expressions and figure suggest that he is sensing something. His ears are large and very distinctive.

This work can be described as an interesting piece that combines a man's inner emotions and human sensibilities.
