Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) Brother, yes brother... it used to be you and I, I wonder what happened to us, these were the days when life was so simple, we laughed, ate drank and forgave sincerely each other's grudges. I know life happens even to the best of us, distance, dreams, pursuit of purpose, chasing the bag and sometimes fate... It feels so distant these days, I'm not asking for life to go back to how it used to be cos this is a journey, but somehow I wish we could see eye to eye, have a good laugh on some food and drinks and feel deep love and emotions that once was. This is my long-awaited letter I've always wanted to write to you, words I've been yearning to say...I love you, brother.
