'The Entity' is about hope, about beliefs, about the life itself; as a part of our existence. It was based on the culture that I've been growing up with and an idea that came unexpectedly in most unexpected time. It was also made to 'comfort' people who see it, just like how I was being comforted while creating the piece. When I saw a photo of a goldfish, swimming and dancing with its beautiful tail underwater; an idea flashed in my mind: there are so much things to be thankful for, the fact that somehow I could see the goldfish in such mesmerizing way probably is also a blessing I received. Oh, I am such a nerd, aren't I? I wanted more people to see what I saw that time so I tried to depict the beauty of the goldfish in a unique way rather than just painting it as how it was under the water. Rather than dragons, how about a goldfish spirit guarding a holy place on the top of a mountain? I wanted to share not only its beauty but also its life as a form of hope (in symbolic way), something precious that we should be thankful for.
