About the artwork
KU Wu Qiong's characters carry child-like features, emphasising thoughts and emotions that are simple to us, yet easily forgotten in the motions of reality and time. Holding hands, their relationship seem to suggest one of assurance, love, warmth and hope. Always and forever, they assure each other; always and forever I will remain by your side.
