Artwork Description

Inspired by The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. The exchange of day and night will be out there eternally, no matter who is the audience or who can witness it. The lightness of being somehow led me to think through an interesting truth. The significance of eternity is in turn also negligible for creatures who can only live in such limited time frame, which is also a lightness that we may not be ready to bear. On the beach, one abandoned toy tractor incidentally lifted up the night sky. Sunrise hiding behind came out. A partially buried camera happened to capture the scene. We, as human beings, are not in the picture to influence anything of the eternity, and the eternity itself could just be a random joke.

Artist Bio

Painting is my way to meditate. I am glad it can help me express my feeling and present the stories I would like to share. It is quite possible that eventually I am still unable to turn my hobby into my profession, but I am lucky enough to invite it into my life.
