YANGON, MYANMAR

The opposite of “having it all” would be losing contact with my loved ones and my family. This would be the biggest fear of my life.

Starting this year, I am trying to live on my own. I know it’s late for a woman who is already over 30, but feel like starting something new. I want to build an independent alternative art space of my own within the next two to three years, connecting international and Myanmar artists together to exchange ideas. I would also like to be exhibited in accredited museums worldwide and be an internationally recognized Southeast Asian contemporary artist.

In the past, I felt out of control when I lost sight of what was trying to achieve. Now I am a freelancer and trying to get as much work as I can to cover all my living expenses and invest in my art at the same time.

As for family, I am not sure. I had a wonderful childhood but I still have a vague dream of me having the family of my own. But I want to be a successful woman so that I can support my parents and elders.
