Where the fashion culture blooms across the country. The pattern itself, divided by threads of lines and uniting every region consist of long histories, vibrant landscapes, and flowers.

“In the process of creating these paintings, I sought to understand the meaning of it by researching the roots materials and looking at each stroke carefully. Where the landscape of colors has its own meaning and purposes and I let it guide me to find its own shape. Similar to exploring a forest to find the gems of it. The conversation of the thoughts inside happen in the middle of layers of untapped possibility and abundance of growth on canvas. The painting is created to tell its own tale and the reader will understand based on how deep they dig the layers of it. Thus the viewer can reflect and find different waves of meaning behind it.”
