The quarantine keeps me thinking a lot. As everybody was asked to stay home for social distancing, I couldn’t stop but to looking back at how I started my career as an artist in New York City.

New York is a book for dreamers and adventurers, and we are all writing its chapters. My first impression started with a hotdog at a food cart, with people from different communities sharing that moment, gathering for food and joy. I began to notice such a magic booth flowing through the city. They may not be conceived as an extraordinary representation of New York City, like the Charging Bull or the Love sculpture. However, it is a scene of life and New York vibe. It is something I want to illustrate as part of my life story.
