Artists statement
"This work is about the 'Buffalo Boy and the Seventh Fairy' from Chinese folklore. The Emperor of Heaven’s seventh daughter loved the buffalo boy. She left heaven and went down to the earth and married him. She became a weaver to make a living, while he tended buffalos. Their life was very happy, and they had a daughter and a son. However, the Emperor got angry and sent heaven’s military to bring her back. The Emperor would allow them to meet at the other side of the Milky Way on the night of the seventh of July every year. On this night, many birds would gather to form a bridge across the Milky Way. Every year they had a family reunion on the 'bridge of birds’."
