ExplanationThe artist was emerged as a new generation artist during the 2000s. "Conflict in the Confluence" is produced with computer graphics. The work is about the relationship between the artist's mother and himself. The artist lost his father soon after his birth. The images of himself and his mother at youth, and the misunderstanding and psychological conflict between the elderly mother and the artist's present self, are described in a comic-book style, sometimes carrying cliched dialogues such as "silly boy? " Despite of its focus on their conflicts, the work rather gives the audience a warm feeling by implying the possibility of their reconciliation. The artist belongs to a new generation of artists in Myanmar.
