"Last Reminiscence of Heaven"

Yes, these are allegories. They are personal memories inspired by my ancestors. Which ancestors? I really don't know.  These paintings remind me of my delights and regrets- about my own existence. When and where did I collect these memories? On the other side of the world, when I was misplaced. Being misplaced makes a person fragmented and multifaceted, and able to start breathing in multiple worlds. This divided experience imbues my works with a surrealistic visual sense. I exhale narratives that were destined to me. These are final reminiscences of heaven; stories from a time when the sounds of music, laughter and birds could be heard from a distance.
