I made this drawing last October in Sardinia, during my residency with grgr at @cultina.artlab (🤍). (2) Maybe you already had this drawing in a different version. Or maybe not. (3) Anyway, the original drawing is now forever gone with my stolen backpack ^__T…. But do not worry. I scanned the drawing beforehand.

To me, this drawing is an imprint of my time in Cagliari: (4) unique-spiky-wrinkly-curvy breads and pastas in the market; (5) a tender purple flower on grgr’s ear; (6) a giant sticker on the showwindow; and (7) a red mailbox we passed by every morning on our way to Cultina.

Hmm. But looking at the drawing again, maybe it is more accurate to say that this drawing cherishes various summery vibes and friendships. (8) A cold bubble tea that Q made for me on a hot day, (9) a caterpillar picture shared by Kim, and (10) a beautiful greenbean-looking-plant gleaming under the scorching sunlight in Athens again with grgr.

Pfff, more pictures are piling up in my album every day. But I think I might have found my way to celebrate them. And I cannot wait to circulate them through my drawing practice.
