“I want to present the objective reality of the people,” the artist said, speaking about his fourth solo art exhibition, “Waiting For.”

“Everyone is waiting for something,” he said.

As distressed looking as they are in their daily struggle with life, the people’s faces also suggest they live with hope.

The exhibition will be held through July 19 at Nawaday Tharlar Gallery on Yawmingyi Street in Yangon’s Dagon Township. The works can be purchased for prices between US$1,100 and $6,500.
