Nostalgia in Focus

10.5 in x 15 in | Charcoal on paper | 2024

As a kid, I loved using my tricycle to explore the neighborhood. Over time, the passion I once had for venturing out on my trike has gradually transformed into a desire to experience the world. With every new avenue I discover in life, I find myself reliving the adventures I once chased on the streets. The figure of my younger self in the rearview mirror watches over me as her dreams come true: finally, my childhood dream of exploring beyond the simple neighborhood block fulfilled.
