My ART4FREEDOM is a self portrait piece on increasing censorship of media in China and beyond and about the disintegration of past cultures and traditions into the modern world. I originally painted this as an experiment in digital illustration and in a sense, it also represents the change of artistic medium from traditional physical painting into something aided by technology. The pixelation of traditional Chinese decorative patterns (my culture) combined with the portrait depicts these transitions. The past, present and future become entangled together, which leads to a greater freedom between each world. Freedom of (artistic) expression might become something of the past if we do not stand up and protect it for the near future. IAM4FREEDOM!
