Duong writes: "Our lives are defined by the days and the nights. One day, one night, one after another. Our days define us. Who we are. I Am. Am I.
I find that when the night comes, my brain clicks on in a different way. As a night owl, my creativity bursts in a different way and my mind translate things differently as well. The darker sides that we have to explore to understand ourselves. When the sun sets, it sets off another version of ourselves. Either closes the day to prepare for the next, or opens up the rest of the night.
The sun, the optimism that comes with the light, the start of a new day. She has her eyes closed and her hands in a meditative way sets the tone of how we want each day. Peace, empathetic, compassionate and appreciative. The lines on the piece represents the days, but never crossed out cause crossing something out feels like we are canceling it, but by keeping the lines in tact acknowledges those days."
