for Madam Chan's dance on YouTube

p.s behind the scene explanation:

photo of me when I graduated at the age of four and a half found at Precious Blood Kindergarten, holly road, Hong Kong

after which I decided to paint it on a small canvas board

all of a sudden, I noticed that I had the exact expression of Roger Moore when he acted in the TV series The Saint

the Photo was taken  in 1962

so the idea of making my self -portrait at four and all my still lifes with halos came up

to tie the story together I inserted my old house in Shek O

where Madam Chan also came to stay one night when I was a little kid...

all memories came back ( MY LOVE FOR MATISSE AND FOR BOTTICELLI)  and therefore, I put them all together and this visual poetry book was born

thank you for the nice memories and to all of you
