"Family Portrait"

This painting holds deep personal significance for me, as it represents the story of my family. In my dreams, I see a complete and intact portrait of my family, in stark contrast to the present circumstance of my parents' separation. The characters in the painting serve as a representation of my family members, and the piece expresses my yearning for us to be whole again.

The withered tree surrounding the members symbolizes the finality of the situation, with no chance for new growth or leaves. Though difficult to accept, this is a reality that must be faced. Sometimes, I find solace in dreaming of a happier time, while at other times, I turn to art as a means of expressing my longing and melancholy.
