"When I am about to create an artwork, the space is my concern. the space that separates the audience from the picture is full of questions and hidden conversations."

you say, "hello anybody here"?
the picture says, "welcome, the gate is open already"
"Who are you', you said.
the picture said, "I am you, you are me, I am inside you, you are part of me. Don't ask, just feel me. I came from a far away country to sing to you songs you have never heard before. I will sing to you the song from an injured country'.
this time the picture sings, for you.

Who owns whom?
Does the audience own the picture?
Or does the picture own the audience?
