Curtain #1

By  Sammy Lai 2024

This series of creations is a distillation of memories from the deepest fragments of the soul, blooming within my heart like abstract art, with each shard permeated by the rich hues of personal emotion and narrative. These works do more than capture the passage of time; they are a reflection of the soul's resonance, representing the delicate interplay between human connections—some fleeting as shooting stars across the sky of life, while others steadfast as the North Star, ever-present beside you. Friends or family, no matter where they are, are bound to us by unseen threads of emotion.
Every journey, every serendipitous encounter, is like the careful hand of a sculptor, shaping who we are in the present moment. In this universe of emotions, love and sorrow, laughter and tears all perform upon an abstract stage, guiding us toward the other relationships in our lives and unknown conclusions.
​Take, for instance, curtains. To me, they are more than just a weave of fabric; they are a private emotional haven from my childhood. In that tranquil space, lying in the warm embrace of my grandmother, I would peer through the gaps in the curtains and gaze upon the outside world, my heart brimming with a yearning for the unknown and fantasies. It's these surges of feeling that unveil the most profound and abstract layers of emotion within me. I choose to work on a small canvas, yet within it, I craft an expansive realm of dreams, attempting to capture those bold and delicate fantasies, sharing the grand narratives of my inner world with the viewer.
