This painting illustrates the meaning of the “otherness” to me — an ideal world in which each of my family members is living as the person I wish him/her to be. In this world, my father dedicates his life to a completely different domain from the one in reality, my mother is a successful violinist instead of spending most of her life on family, my brother still plays piano as he does in real life but has a different personality. It’s not a denial of their lives, but other possibilities of how they could have lived in a parallel universe, which might require more courage, determination or might not be perfect either. This painting is my unique way to touch the untouchable “otherness” in my wish.
