Mysterious Skin

I used to have many difficulties in verbalizing my thoughts during face-to-face communication. I started paintings upon realizing that the nature of my communication is but a vague cover, intricately shrouded over my personality. The helmet evokes memories of my puberty laden with doubts about my own body, a period when I had no outlet to confide in, thus having to bury all of my doubts. Through paintings, I discover the mysteries hidden beneath the skin covering my body: their sensitivity toward surrounding things such as air, contact, melting, and above all my physical sentiments. These, to me, are more important than the emotions present on our face.
