This painting depicts a deaf person in a red circle, hand signing I love you. Although, the deaf person felt isolated among the hearing people not knowing sign language. This is a story about how a deaf person grew up in a hearing world, in a classroom setting. The black and white painting shows an emotional impact along with a red circle motif, referring to being targeted, focal point, attention. The deaf person loves everyone but feels neglected by others. This is a resistance work, and the theme is society.
