EVENT DESCRIPTION
This exhibition captures the interesting encounters I’ve had with strangers over the past few years and how they interact in this city.
Through my artistic lens, I perceive a narrative that goes beyond mere observation. For instance, when I see an elderly man resting by the roadside, it may seem like a moment with no particular reason. However, I subjectively interpret it as a reflection of the wistful sentiments of a fading hero, captured in his eyes that refuse to resign to their circumstances.
My artwork explores the delicate balance between reality and personal imagination. It serves as a visual journal of my interactions with the unfamiliar faces that populate this city, offering glimpses into their lives, emotions, and unspoken stories.
By blurring the boundaries between reality and personal fantasy, this kind of creation also documents how I interact with the strangers in my city.
