The theme of my work revolves around the three aspects of childhood, memory and family. This work is inspired by old photographs of my childhood, and I want to use them to express how I feel about this memory in my brain.
Through these old photos, I see the environment I used to grow up in and the familiar appearance of my family members in the past. The fragments of my childhood memories are reassembled in my mind, the memories of the past are reactivated, and the once-familiar scenes have new meanings. The changes in my family's relationship with my previous family made me think more deeply about the reality and my own existence, so I started to create paintings on the theme of childhood memories.
