Description
In Tang Hong Lee's painting Sky #5, small houses are whimsically perched on clouds, carried aloft by colourful hot air balloons floating gently across the sky. This surreal touch adds a playful, imaginative quality to the scene, blending elements of fantasy with the serene beauty of the open sky. The houses, securely anchored to the balloons, seem to drift peacefully. This dreamlike setting invites viewers to imagine a world where homes are weightless, free to wander through the clouds and endless blue expanse.
