Year: 1998 Technique: Oil on canvas
Size: 45 x 60 cm Private collection
  Note: By the name 'Gangaw-Ywa', everybody in Rangoon knows that it is the University Campus. We students from the Rangoon University who were interested in arts held ten exhibitions under the name of "Gangaw-Ywa' at the University Dome and Judson building. The exhibitions were supervised by a person called 'Village Headman', a ten-house headman and some ladies who were called paddy planters. You can call this a modern group. Earlier, it was a very happy and joyful place, but now it a very dreary place. You will see the leaves shed by the mohur trees together with their red flowers and blue flowers resting on the ground. You might imagine or think you can hear some sobbing sound because of its mournful past.
