Consciousness of Realities Exhibition Vi

Introduction

Diversity is my Philosophy of Art

Art is to sharing and touching into the nature surround us. I am hoping to the better relationships in the ideal society with the love of art. The journey, maybe in my mind to the beginning of where we started in life, is probably the way to get to re-starting of our artist life-process. Also that could be questioning of articulated criticism to us, "what can we do?" as a new mankind.

DINING ROOM OPERA

Dining room Opera is a multimedia Installation, about the culture depression of Myanmar. As an eye witness between civil conflict, the art and the artists were depressed in the nightmares. This work searched artist's childhood memories of bedtime stories by his grandmother. A story about the puppets playing hide and seek in the emptiness of kitchen. That was kind of a nightmare after dinner called "rice-ghost".

Exhibition was hold in 2014 at

Rooster Gallery, New York, NY.

Photography is one of the artist's medium to get inspirations, experiencing and encountering to the realistic world.
