Staying at home became the new normal during a pandemic, I have had to rediscover aspects of the home that have otherwise been ignored. Rooms have been cleaned, documents organized and old photographs revisited with the newfound time.
Revisiting old photographs always gives me a new reward as it rekindles memories that may have gone dormant over time. I literally stumbled on some photographs that I only had a vague recollection of capturing, especially the one I captured during the first day of our Chinese New Year back in 2014. It is such a precious moment, seeing both of my nieces have a wonderful time, enjoy chitchatting and laughing in the bedroom. So, I decided to paint it, in hope that seeing this image allows me to travel back in time, one memory at a time.
