The Silent Guardian (静かな守り手 - Shizuka na mamorite)

This work is the quiet sister of "The Protector of the Family." Her strength lies not in her multifaceted nature, but in her clarity. She doesn't need many roles—she simply is. Firmly rooted, upright, and vigilant.

 The golden blossoms radiate warmth, the black stems testify to inner strength. Like a guardian of everyday life, it preserves what is essential and protects without imposing itself. Its presence is quiet, yet palpable.

 This image reminds us that it is often not the loud ones who carry our world – but those who work in secret, with love, with perseverance and with an open heart.
