"This artwork is about the truth of life of every man that is in the circle of life. Inevitably, one must face getting born, gaining age, getting weaker and dying in the process of living. The work is depicted by the figure of the mother who is loving and caring. The bond and the attachment are so strong and inseparable. However, as the time goes by, the body degenerates and gets worn out with age and the fear of losing a beloved person in the near future arises. With the technique of creating the figure, the painting becomes moving which represents the impermanence of life, and of all things. "
