Cosmologists do not consider the possibility of parallel universes existing alongside our current universe to be far-fetched. In other words, the vast universe of our existence might be just one of many universes that are progressing in parallel, without interfering with one another. Alongside this possibility, the universe of strange, imaginary creatures born from my mind—with an undeniable presence—has continually challenged my thoughts as well. This mythical universe, whose discovery has opened up a new visual expanse before me, has given rise to the notion that the subjects crafted and shaped by our minds might take form in a universe parallel to our own. Furthermore, their existence may even persist after our imaginings cease, flowing onward in that virtual or real parallel universe. This idea, while it may seem unreal, is equally plausible. That said, my words are not meant to assert the definitive acceptance of this hypothesis; rather, this very way of thinking, with its imaginative challenge within me, has led to the creation of the present collection, and I take this occurrence as a good omen for myself.
