Jason Phu birds and butterflies and bee and flowers and unhappy frogs and lilies in a swamp at sunset
acrylic on canvas
213.5 x 183 cm
am i the unhappy frog or the happy butterfly? or are they the same and i am both? they are two identical cats walking down the hallway. or maybe i am neither and i am the bee buzzing between them, because between three bees there is always one b. am i the happy flowers or the unhappy mud? or is it the other way around? did the lotus seed grow so far in the wrong direction it ended up in china? only someone who placed a gps tracker on it knows. all i know is that the noises of the swamp keep you up at night.
