Traditional things are slowly forgotten and lost amid rapid social development. This is a tribute to the things with which we have spent time.

Rural life is simple and rustic, with bricks and tiles in shades, mud on the body by every step and jump. This creation is about childhood memories, when the little one’s hand is holding by his grandmother, walking to the bright side under the sky.

I need a bit of tranquility as an artist living in a city. My previous works are attempts to get some sort of quietness in the city, no matter how limited it is. There is, however, an endless amount of it in nature, where you can feel the calming energy of woods and streams. I have visited forests so many times that I feel as if their fresh air stayed in my body. Drawing on canvas from my memory of the fresh air in my studio is a process enjoyable to me.

The picture contains a drawing of the Statue of Liberty inspired by an old photo and an obscured image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The work may keep viewers so absorbed that they feel like being in a world with no one around. The indistinct and iconic images disclose the relation between traditional belief and reality.
