Artist Statement about the piece:

"In Japan there is a phrase ’Mono No Aware’ meaning ‘beautiful sadness’ referring to the transience and impermanence of all things. The snow monkeys found high up on Mt Fuji often seem to express this pathos in their acceptance of the hard life they lead. This painting is my expression of this sentiment."

"Whether we wish to give thanks or acknowledgement, or sustain hope for the future, we all pray in some fashion. This image is from observing Japanese macaque monkeys in the Nagano hot spring. I paired it with the cherry blossom which represents the fleeting nature of life but also of renewal and intrinsic beauty." ~ Robert Bissell
