I aim to express the ups and downs of life through my work, highlighting the support and encouragement needed in adversity. As someone who struggles with emotional illness, I often feel life stands still during low points. Time seems to pass while the world moves on, creating a growing emptiness and increasing distance from reality, leading to feelings of loss and sudden tears. Even when I bravely enter a crowd, everyday scenes appear incomplete, missing a crucial piece. My artwork reflects these mundane aspects, with each person and object seeming to lack something, symbolizing my incompleteness. In the lower left corner, I’ve left a blank space with a rusted padlock. When opened, it reveals a vibrant scene filled with sweet colors and blooming flowers, contrasting with the main image. I hope this piece offers solace and positive energy, unlocking the heart and rediscovering buried joyful memories. Life may be challenging, but we can still persevere and find hidden happiness.
