My husband was an American diplomat in Tokyo when we lived there 3 years. On the 3rd year he has gotten mysteriously sick and so was our 5 year old daughter. I was heart-broken as I looked after the two love of my life. I had a small atelier connected to the kitchen. I had a huge white paint that oozed out accidently and I took a dollop of it onto the canvas and smeared it and somehow the white shirt came into being. Without any scatch, I started creating the face after buidling her chest area/neck. Shitsuren in Japanese means "jilted" or being heart broken. That was how I felt at the time and the painting came alive from that saddness and worries for my loved ones.
