Artist's Note:
As a child, I rarely interacted with other children, didn’t go to kindergarten, and spent a lot of time alone in a big room filled with various toys. One day, my imaginative world became a plastic flower castle inhabited by little fairies. Fragile but flexible, these fairies were magical beings. I took them for a walk in the nearby forest, and one day, I lost one of the fairies in the dry grass under a big tree with branches split in half. I clearly remember where it was, but I couldn’t find it. Over the years, I often revisited this memory, feeling as if I needed to apologise, say goodbye, and let go. In this painting, I finally release all the lost fairies and watch them dance.
