Memories of beautiful days
 
Once spring of warm sunshine passes, summer of the hot blazing sun arrives.  Then before long we know that it is autumn when a cool breeze announces its arrival.  Our lives are akin to the changes of four seasons.
 
We go through a fresh, tender growth period, which is like spring when all things sprout, and begin to learn what life is about.  Then summer arrives in our lives, when everything is lush and thriving, our lives are also full of hopes and expectations and overflowing with days of passion. In turn, when autumn arrives when all kinds of grains and fruit ripen, we become more relaxed.  Likewise, in the autumn of our lives our lives become quietened from the restless passion of youth and begin to bear precious fruit of life and every now and then we also reminisce on our past with smiles.
 
In this exhibition I have expressed in my works various aspects we experience in the seasons of our lives, reminiscing on these as memories of beautiful days.  The forms of a man and a woman express a period of vibrant, passionate and a little bit immature youth.  The middle-aged person, who is mummified, bears a horn on his head, which symbolises fame and glory, yet he can elicit some feelings of sadness.  We also recall the girl of our puppy love days, and reminisce on the unfulfilled love of youth.  And then, what will be left in our winter?
