Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) How far will I go in this search? How long will I be gone? How fast will my feet carry me? In my quest for greener pastures, will my dreams ever come through? These are the many questions being asked by the people in the diaspora and those on a journey to dreamland. Will I ever get there? Will I ever get back to my dearest home? As I go through the hurdles of life, what will be my fate? To those who have a home, to those who lost their home due to the happenings of the past, and to those who don’t even know where they belong and have found themselves in a place they cannot call their own, I hope you find peace and that your dreams come through that you may know rest.
