Artist's commentary
Hearty Welcome (opal gate)
The flaring aurora in the sky is lighting up brightly all around.
She always welcomes heartily the travelers who come far away from light-years' distance.
A young brother and a sister are coming soon this evening,
she hears, to explore the ruins of the city where their ancestors lived.
"We always welcome the descendants of the same origin on this planet.
Welcome to the earth ! We heartily welcome you, our dear friends."
