The feeling of sorrow and pain

This was one of my painting during my first semester in NUS. At that period, I painted four black and white paintings. And I gave one of them to Dr Roy.

It is kind of simple but strange way to waste time. What I did was using pen and ruler, drawing meshes with different geometries, and painting them in black and white. It was not difficult to do my painting style. Plus all the lines in my paintings are straight lines draw with ruler.
