             “Urban Communication” series - Once, I lived in a horrible neighborhood   the illusion of peace. I was on my way to college. The streets were white
             in Chicago. Streets were full of violence at night and garbage during   and empty. All of a sudden, the sun hit the sky, and I witnessed the most
             the day. Broken sidewalks, metal gates, fallen fences, broken cans and   beautiful spark of light going through the green glass beer bottles, lying
             bottles were everywhere. It was such a depressing place. That was all   naked in the fresh white snow.  At that moment, I felt a breath of hope,
             I could afford at the time. One winter afternoon, the first snow, like an   that there is a “light in the darkness” and my “Urban Communication”
             artist, performed its magic and covered all the dirt and garbage, painting   sculpture project began thereafter.
