The artwork hides the text "Being Born Without a Place to Belong" beneath the surface. Using the raindrop painting technique layer by layer, it weaves between motion and stillness, change and constancy. It breaks down many perceptions and makes us realize the existence of diverse viewpoints. It also helps different people become healthier, more aware, and thus live more freely.
