My inspiration comes from old family photos. The lack of their presence in my life creates a tension between the reality of their existence and my imagining of them. The oil paint that I use in my work canĀ remainĀ its original color over a long period, unlike film photograph that will fade away over time. I use the package wrappers to protect them from outside, which makes it waterproof and dirt proof. The color tone in painting creates a sense of age, but in my works, it is not broken anymore.
