Metamorphoses
Description
I like storybooks. Worlds instory books are full of gorgeous clothes, words, jewels, princesses, and magical gimmicks which culd turn tears into pearls. I am also afraid of reality. These are too many evil men and too much malice in our world. Whenever I hear of homicide or violence, I wish I could wipe them out from this world by placing a curse them.
However, depite how much I fear and hate this world, I belong to it nonetheless. I decide to inscribe my fear towards reality in my paintings. Of course, I do not portray ugly and nasty things. I fear is wrapped up beautifully by storybook devices. These include girls, jewels, and fantasy creatures with unicorn's horns.
The world I build is pretty yet fragile. That is because I, who conceive of the world, am a vulnerable existence stepping on reality. As a world turns into a curse or a blessing in storybook, if somebody whispers m 'you are wrong' or 'it is all fake' over a hundred times, then the fairy tales might lose its power. However, I shall keep on draing. If I keep on drawing as casting a spell, then one day my paintings might gain power and become magic that could make people forget their reality.

This painting has symbolic style and mythical contents. But its atmosphere is outstandingly deep.
