Statement / Reason for Manking Art
An artwork encapsulates emotions. The art piece conveys visible and invisible elements in my mind during the making process.
The artwork results from a research study of a particular subject that I want to discuss, be it historical, incidental, personal, local, global, or environmental issues.
