Artist Statement

It’s the journey to freedom and friendship. My character, the little girl, she is on the way to explore. It’s a complicated world; it’s a beautiful world. She will find her way up and gain her courage and confidence. Her friend, the sea turtle TuTu, is waiting for her on the seashore. Grand Connection is a location where all the escalators connect, paving the way for her journey.
