My life is an Abstraction

This is the new series I have started since I moved to China, in August 2018.
The motifs are inspired by Chinese traditional clouds, found in paintings, buddhists representations and bas-relief.
Since coming to China and living here had been a dream of mine since I was a little girl, I thought this was a good way to express what I am living now.
