I have always been interested in the various shapes of the clouds and the sky and I wanted to depict them all in my paintings as they really were.
In thought, I was associating the anxiety between the clouds and range of the sky at the very moments before a storm, with the anguish and anxiety existing among the people who are creating a new season in their lives, all in this painting, "Turbulence".
In “Turbulence”, my younger sister sat as the main model, and I tried to express the anxiety and turbulence between the clouds warning of a sudden storm in my subject's face and also in the clothes and the sheets waving in the violent wind.
My painting is a sense of a sudden change, an approaching transformation, and a reflection of what's going on inside one's soul.
