My Motorcycle

these works relate to the memories from his childhood when he lived in a house on the riverbank and boat was used as the main transportation. when he dived into the river, it was like travelling into different world, full of imagination and excitment especially when looking up, trying to push yourself up to the air but saw a big boat above you. Moreover, recalling the life with boat seems to be like fairytale which cannot turn back since boat is now rarely used.
