When I see you, I see me (2012)
Paint on wall, Dimensions variable

There are many serendipitous things around us, waiting to be discovered. Faith could
enable us to see what we want to see. However, our youth, spirit, innocence, free will,
and eagerness seem to fade once we grow up.

The rays from the ceiling lights shine to light up the corridor. A brief glance reveals
a simple empty space, but with the concentration and heart of one’s inner child, the
familiar rays of light can become lively characters, an illusion connecting light, time,
space, and our own perceptions that will lead us to a familiar world that is not as
familiar as it seems.

We call them the “Gods of Light” that only appear at certain times, like starlight that
cannot be seen during the day but is always there, waiting for the right conditions to
let them shine. As the day turns into night, we get the chance to see them. We would
experience this new sensation, this excitement that would bring back our childhood,
only if we are willing to observe and wait.
