The poem ‘fence’ is about the lofty ambitions in life and an optimistic view of the city. For this reason, I decided to use warm colour tone for the artwork.

Nowadays, we often drive on the highway. Therefore, I use the rear-view mirror to reflect our inner thoughts, including hidden dreams and goals. While driving, we can see lots of skyscrapers that symbolise our goals and achievements on our way. Yet, there are different barriers and challenges in life which are suggested by the fences in between.

Usually, a fence is not extremely high and there are holes on it. So, I drew a fence with the shape of an eye in the middle, meaning we can still see the skyscrapers through and beyond the fence. Despite the unpredictable difficulties we would encounter, we should overcome obstacles, jump over fences, and continue to pursue our dreams!
