Kaori was inspired by Indian folk art characterized by vivid colors and naive composition. Through her illustrations, she tried to depict the story based on Patanjali's Yoga Sutra and show that people make their reality which all depends on their perceptions. So Kaori drew the dreamy and imaginary scenery based on the storyline. She remembers how things look and feel in her childhood, reality full of magic and colors. She expressed how the mind shapes reality so that kids can overcome their fear of mind monsters.
