" Streetlight Ⅰ "

" Streetlight Ⅱ "

His painting brings me transparency and memory of my own. It seems to be because his scene purely contains the air inside the UK. Looking at his paintings, I feel like breathing the air of the place, inside the scene.

" Streetlight Ⅰ " " Streetlight Ⅱ "

I am terribly weak on darkness because of fear. It was a cold night in Winter.

When I was running home in the dark, I passed the Streetlight Ⅱ. I could see my white breath under the light. It brought me relief first but soon eeriness. The colour was too red and blurred to my eyes. With the freezing temperature, my eyes were filled with tears. As the image was vivid enough to scare me further more, I just managed to get rid of what I was seeing. Before long, I saw the next one, the Streetlight Ⅰ emitting gentle yellow light. With light steps, I hurried home.
