I have loosely based this painting on a black and white photo of my partner's auntie as a young woman. Being a migrant, facing new life in a new country I believe she would have asked herself many questions over time. Although painted figuratively, I was trying to give the painting that slightly abstract quality.
This painting has been accepted into The Collie Art Prize.
