Rooted In Tradition (2021) by Alex Liong Chen Hui | Original Artwork | Clay and Soft Pastel on Reinforced Board | 76 cm x 51 cm (Complimentary Frame)

"From ancient times to the present, the Chinese traditional culture has been passed on from  generation to generation. The cultural customs of our ancestors are our inheritance roots. Due to the pandemic, the 2021 Lunar New Year was celebrated differently as we were restricted from returning to our hometown to reunite with family. Still, a traditional decoration was put up by each household , creating a warm and cheerful atmosphere. Even though homesickness was widespread, we still managed to have a safe and memorable New Year."
