独立独歩【DokuritsuDoppo】 Ed. 1 of 1

I created an artwork featuring the Japanese phrase '独立独歩,' symbolizing self-reliance. To convey the meaning of '独歩' (walking alone), I carved a path down the center of the wood, painted it black to represent the road. The gold on the surface of the characters and the light color of the surrounding wood symbolize a bright path ahead.
