Artist’s Note

On the rough, arid ground, three white dandelions stand beneath a full moon.

In my hometown, white dandelions are used as a healing herb,
and the number three symbolizes harmony ,
the meeting of the first yin and the first yang.

May this barren pain soon come to an end.
May this thirst be healed.
I offer this prayer to the full moon.
