Exposition：

“Boy standing on high stage”, it seems this boy is occupied with some worries and anxiety; however no realistic object can be drawn for further clarifications. Also the boy at height, it seems like he has come possibility to jeopardize himself yet there hasn’t any logical theme or abnormal background for further approvals. These two examples have made climbing and falling turn into a non-dynamic yet consistent meaningless condition, an endless hole from reality. Using reality objects such as wood piles and pillars as location for practicing physical and mental comforts, which stand out the figure with high level of focus on his inner self. The boy in his painting often stands still as being framed in any instant movement, and seeks balancing from unstable postures.
