Color is a kind of material. I rarely adjust colors; instead, by modulating the relationships between colors and the interplay between pigment and canvas material, I allow color to realize the psychological effect present at the moment of caring behavior: contemplative, quiet, dazzling.

The past and future of the mother-daughter relationship collapse into a singular imaginative moment, blending memories and aspiration within the act of creation.
