Self-Portrait

2022
Watercolor on paper
55×75 cm

This piece illustrates my happy childhood memories through references to popular movies and books that I enjoyed when I was little—like Harry Potter and Hayao Miyazaki’s films—and images of personal moments, such as braiding bracelets and birthday parties. I hope the symbols evoke connections with viewers who share similar memories. I chose watercolor for its watery, blurry quality that makes objects feel alive and slightly in motion, mirroring how memory drifts from reality.
