It was during a time where I was going through a quite deep time of sorrow, and I hate it when the weather starts to warm up when my heart is still cold inside. My dear Hoya took me to Gathering place and we sat down on a huge rock by the sands near the pond, and just talked. The wind was so breezy and pink flowers were flourishing all over the park as it usually does in Tulsa in Spring. I still feel strange and abnormal to lean against people emotionally in times of dark times but God granted me a great company not only as a person but in sweet nature of his creation too. The film photos I took at the Gathering Place were all my inspiration for this collection, it was a very personal collection not related to any of my school works, and maybe that's why I still linger on it and have special feelings to them still.
My self portraits were taken in Nikon N64, printed with Canon MG printers on 300 GSM watercolor paper. Then painted with watercolor, after it dried I drew with color pencils or another layer of watercolor. Enjoy :)
