Whilst studying medicine in Tokyo, I was nostalgic of home, of timeworn street in rural Taiwan villages. The setting may be from the hills surrounding Shilin District of northern Taipei, or a village from my dreams. The young lady is fashioned after Modigliani (莫迪里亞尼), but she still resembles the women of tropical Taiwan.

在東京習醫時想起故鄉台灣之村落之古街,可能是士林之附近之小丘上,或者夢裡之村落。少女之造型是受到莫迪里亞尼 (Modigliani) 影響但也符合熱帶之台灣少女面容。
