Artwork Description

This painting captures the essence of a traditional dried seafood store in an Asian market—a sight that is becoming increasingly rare. Through this work, I aim to highlight the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and traditional values, inviting us to appreciate the richness of these time-honoured practices before they fade from everyday life.
