The title of this series of work is "Rainbow in the Room". Originally in the sky, out of incomprehension with the world, it was then locked in a room. Taken out of context yet existing as its own spectacle, I hope people can see the beauty in us all being children of the rainbow. All human, united in our joy, sorrow and dreams. One day, we hope to return to the sky.
