From afar, this piece looks like a blank, beige square. Yet if one takes time to look closely, faces composed from unassuming objects start coming to focus. When I was little, to amuse myself, I would stare at the walls, at the thick white paint plastered in such a way that various textures were apparent, lines thick and thin dancing about the surface. Human brains naturally generalize patterns, excelling at recognizing faces and so I delighted myself in finding shapes of faces in the wall. The world seemed magical to me as a child, a sense that fades with the busyness of maturity. Through this piece, I want the audience to disengage from their chaotic worlds for a while and look for the small things, a tiny face, a little glimmer of light, moments for joy that have been present but undetected all along.

Creativity means curiosity leading into transformation, molding and crafting something new. It's the guiding force of all we do; without creativity, we wouldn't have scientific discoveries, technological innovation nor spiritual satisfaction. Creativity is inseparable with growth.
