Artist Statement:
With this painting, I wish to express the painful but real side of our
life journey. The sailor on the sailboat has all his sails broken, yet he still
declares, “I have confidence that I can overcome this.” This image
reflects the spirit we all must carry in the race of life.

Life is very much like a race—sometimes smooth and
joyful, but often filled with unexpected obstacles.

Along the way, we face family struggles, overdue loan
installments, pending education fees, medical expenses, and financial burdens
such as vehicle leasing or rent.

At work, we encounter pressure, conflicts, and
challenges, while at home, we may struggle with the responsibilities of being a
parent or a child.

These difficulties can feel like broken sails slowing us
down.

But just as the sailor refuses to give up, we too must
not ignore or run away from our problems.

Instead, we need to make a plan, choose the right path,
and move forward step by step.

The key strength that carries us through this life race
is confidence—the belief that no matter how hard the storm, we have the
power to overcome it.
