this is one of two fav. exhibit at asian art museum from my visit today.

at different angle i kinda got different impression.

that's what is special about art, isn't it? the artistic interpretation value and literal value of what one sees or touches or hears, ...

i first saw this sculpture as a wise crack old man. then as someone sitting very comfortable. then as someone wise.

i forgot what i heard from audio tour, but i like how the photo did turn out to be.

one that makes you ponder and think, and one that makes you nostolgic. this sure makes me think of the tour de museum today.
