The rushcart ceremony (derived from Rogationtide) is an English tradition where parishioners process around their parish once a year, bearing rushes. They would end up at the parish church and place the rushes on the floor of the church, to replace worn-out rushes. In modern times the ceremony is practised only in parts of northern England including Lancashire and Cumbria. Tips composition is derived from the Saddleworth rushcart festival. The legacy of it all is that it brought together the community in preserving and support it continuity
Everywhere I go, I do get my self lost in the environment trying to find an expressive notion to relate my emotions at that point in time as I was at the sea side I visualise our life as a visitor. A quote from the aboriginal proverb- "We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love... And then we return home" -Aboriginal Proverb by migrants in their search for better life through their journey on d sea. All protocol observed on my arrival and my welcome was pleasantly addressed.

Thought about life on d sea how risk people have endanger themselves however, if they finally arrived, how would their welcome be... As inspiration develops, series of photos were taking a

This connection is between his original place of birth and his immediate environment (United Kingdom). On my daily commute to work, sitting on the top of London bus approaching Cambridge Circus junction, I often get stuck in traffic jam. Waiting patiently at the top of the London bus observing every fleeting moment. Psychologically, like am in a trance, I often get submerged in thoughts as it raves in my inner self. It’s often a recall for a subtle moment, a time to reflect and think on how to reconnect and connect my passion in life with the present happenstance. This thoughtful connection flows within as I make my journey through the traffic jam at Cambridge Circus London. The inspiration from the piece is about the fleeting moment
