Title of work: Moved

Artist Statement:

Is this me?

During a speech, one of the listeners hand painted my portrait.

What was the feeling that motivated her to draw?

Or, what did I say to inspire her?

From the eyes of others, and then through drawing, I see what I look like when delivering a speech.

It is so different from photography. I am so much moved!

Indeed, this is me!

I am thankful that except creating, I have some speaking opportunities in recent years.

Sharing my experience through speaking and interacting with audience enrich my creative vision.

I am glad to share this meaningful piece of work with you by the end of the year.
