A garden is a place where people usually visit to escape from the business in life. I tried. My visit to Botany Garden was not as successful because as I was about to leave the world of reality, the thoughts of school works and problems restrict me in doing so. in the end, I have to escape from these thoughts.

'Escape' is a series of photomontages, a continuation of alternate persona project where the character I portray represents a stronger individual. The work is also inspired by Oneika Russel's In the Night Garden. However, instead of blending the images digitally, I used cut and paste technique to show the idea of craft. At the same time, it makes the characters and setting, two different reality as they look separated yet exist on the same ground. This work also marks a few of my preferable style which are photomontage, using receipts and own self to create a persona or character.
