National Art Gallery Trip: The Picture that moved me.

In the trip to the National Art Gallery in early of June, I saw a picture at the first floor of which I found very attractive for me.

The picture as a modern art product of a Chinese (I assumed) artist named: “Dream and Reality”

The name has already attracted me in the very first second I saw it. The picture has three sections are top, middle and bottom. In the bottom of the picture, there is an old skinny sickness-look man lying on the floor, he seem like in a coma and can not move, hear or listen to anyone but thinking about his life. The man just lying there alone with no one taking care for him, such a lonely and pathetic situation.

In the middle of the picture, there was three illusions of the old man sitting in a line beside the real man in the bottom. The three illusions are looking at three different door, they all look skinny like the real man, but showing three different emotions.

The man on the left is giving two little girl in the left door a candy, his face somehow brighter with happiness which inspired by the two girls, but they seem scared of him.

The man of the right is looking at the room where he and his family were having good time watching TV together. The scene is so simple but it represent the simplicity of happiness.

The illusion man in the center is holding his head, look like he is very depress and regret, and the room in front of him, is the exactly image of him-self and his three illusion. It like an endless circle where he keep looking at his pathetic situation and regretting about what he has missed in his life.

We can feel that the two men on the left and right represent “the dream”, dream about happiness, about life, kids, family… about things that we regret when we have lost it.

And the illusion man in the center represent “reality” where we suffering with the regret and stuck in the pathetic reality.

The picture raised a feeling inside me about love – life – family. We are nothing without love, and in the end of the day, the things we will regret the most is not spending enough time with our family – it’s the most beautiful, peaceful and worthy time in an individual life.

Beware of the life flow, spend as much time as possible with the one you love. Love – faith – family is the one matter in an individual life.
