I drew this picture as one of the final attempts to complete the employer’s preliminary assignment. I really wanted to get that job, and I gave it my all. On this painting, I depicted lost time, dream’s broken wings, something dear that fell asleep under a weeping tree. But even in such a world – full of sorrow, drowning in the fog of doubt – the sun rises!
