Synopsis

I remember myself eating ice cream under the air conditioner with my grandmother from Synopsis' mother's side. Every lunch, my grandmother turned on the air conditioner and took out the ice cream prepared in advance. However, after I ate ice cream, my maternal grandmother always said, "You should eat only one ice cream a day, not a lot, and if you eat a lot, you will have an upset stomach." My grandmother always rode the swing with me in a small park, and when I sat on the swing, she pushed me slightly and went far again, looking at me with a big smile.

Artist's intent

As the planning intention gets older and the more I study, the fewer opportunities I have to go to my grandmother's house, and the fewer opportunities I have to meet my grandmother, I now have only a phone call or two. The time when I spent my summer vacation at my mother's house remained as a memory, and I missed the time when I spent my summer vacation, so I wanted to put in that memory into this work.
