‘Home Again’ (Paintings and Poems) by Myat Wai

01.During the civil war in Burma, Chantha village Church was burned.
02. There is a village beyond fields. It’s lovely and warm but it’s might be there, now.
03. Kayah before the civil war, there were the broad fields which I wouldn’t think. The broad fields were changed into hay and made brown soil.
04. The lane goes between the urban and the country of Ywashay village.
05. There is a path near Minnanthu village. The path is my favorite place. It’s the wide and flat sky and the biggest rain clouds. There are many trees but only one shadow. The only one shadow is me. The picture is that place, adding my imaginations.
06. It is strength that sunlight shined over the size of the big volume cloud and the size of the volume wall. The sky was the blue of the rainy season. I liked the fallen tree that living in the agricultural compound as I had seen the morning sunshine which is glare beyond the views.
07. The Wall of the road for Minnanthu village in rainy season in Bagan- there is the most beautiful time in Bagan because of clouds and the full sunbeam.
08. Viewpoint on the Tharaba gate, Bagan.
09. Trying to run away from the stifling of the urban life, I have to re-enter through the place. The burned fields attracted me and I couldn’t help drawing.
10. Returning from Hsipaw – Shan State, I drew the views in my mind.
11. The sunset of Hsipaw from a downhill path.
12. My beloved family and I travelled towards the Andaman Sea also known as Burma Sea. Human being swims like a fish in the sea.
13. Family trip to May Myo, drawing selfie poses at Kandawgyi botanical garden – including sky, water, tree and a man.
14. ‘In the end, I’m alone’ (Kin Maung Yin) All the plains are yellow and the mountain is also yellow. And also, the sky is the golden color. There is a home alone. There is a dried dead tree, only it’s getting lonesome. Another world is golden color with a happy ending. Eventually, you will be only one.

15. Melancholy River

16. Is Paris burning?
