Hope, Hong Zhou, 2024, oil on paper, 25 x 23 in. / 63.5 x 58.42 cm.

In my painting entitled Hope (self-portrait III), despite the challenges, this period demonstrated the resilience and positivity of humanity. Through this self-portrait, I wanted to express hope for the world to heal and for everyone to learn, understand, and tolerate one another.
