‘Sunset Reminiscence’, Acrylic on Plyboard, Degree show install, 8cm x 8cm, 2023. This series of scenic, sunset landscapes came from reminiscing throughout the cold, dark winter this year. They represent places that I miss. It is important for the work not to reveal the location in the title so that each viewer can respond in a personal way. Human activity is removed to ensure a deep focus on the landscape. The paintings are to be experienced collectively and individually, and each piece is installed to give room for contemplation, allowing up-close encounters and hazy recollections, like a camera just out of focus.
