[Sub] Ways is a series inspired by the transportation systems of some of the world’s largest metropolises. It uses subway lines as metaphors for thoughts that cannot be controlled. Crowded yet vibrant. Confusing yet rich. Loved yet criticized. A way of life: immersed in a collective unconscious that knows no silence but longs for moments of peace. It explores the struggle to recognize oneself as an individual among millions and to ask: Who am I, really? It’s about the love-hate relationship with the city and the choice to exist within its chaotic rhythm.

The artwork featured in this curated collection is from the Time for Help series. This series portrays children from orphanages in Vietnam and Nepal, using personal photographic references as starting points. Through painting, I reimagine their presence by negotiating absence and presence within the composition.

White space refers to gaps and interruptions in their early lives, while also suggesting potential: what remains open and unresolved. Color emphasizes an inherent vitality and inner life - qualities intrinsic to childhood - even under constrained or adverse conditions.
