My artistic intent behind this piece is to invite the viewer to engage with the drawing of this young Korean girl, to contemplate the candid emotions flitting across her face. That moment when curiosity, intrigue, trust, the chance of rewarding possibilities begins to overtake the initial reaction of shyness; the beginnings of a tentative smile; a gaze that rewards the viewer with an intimate connection; a moment that resonates with all those remembered feelings we've experienced as children.
