Description:

"I have felt that life has ways of knocking me down when I least expect it but later, it helps me discover a new path. So, for my idea I was inspired by my own successes and failures to get to where I am today. I wanted to create a fun way to describe this, so I turned ryun into bowling pins. On the right is a bowling ball that represents “life” and to the left are ten ryuns that are pins to be knocked down."
