This painting is a deeply personal reflection on identity, love, and the search for belonging. It captures the moment when I first met my girlfriend and began to embrace my identity as an Asian lesbian. The deep greens and abstract forms evoke the lushness of a hidden, peaceful place—a space where we could be ourselves, free from the constraints of the outside world.
 
In this quiet, imaginary tunnel, my girlfriend expressed a simple yet profound wish: to lie there together and listen to the sound of the grass. This imagery resonates with a sense of tranquillity and intimacy, symbolizing a haven where love and identity are celebrated in their purest forms. The painting conveys both the serenity of this shared moment and the strength found in recognizing and accepting one's true self.
 
By weaving elements of nature into this urban-inspired piece, I address the longing for spaces where we can connect with both ourselves and the environment around us. The painting also reflects on broader themes of environmental consciousness, reminding us of the importance of nurturing not only our relationships but also the world we live in. It invites viewers to reflect on the beauty of love and authenticity, encouraging a deeper appreciation for both our personal identities and the natural world that surrounds us.
