I just realize the date for my 1st Solo Exhibition is just getting closer and closer. Before I know it, it will be here, then gone. Most of it is already planned out and Im not worry about it but whats making me nervous is whats in store after the show. It would be the end of this chapter in my life and the start of a new one. A journey where Ill take the next step in life. A journey Im not exactly sure about yet but will begin to unfold soon. Fate said I should go east, towards Europe, start off in UK, travel south towards France and Italy. As I travel I’ll be working on my next art collection and seek for something that has been calling out deep down inside. I clueless as you are to what that something is but somehow I know its over there. I know it sounds a bit stupid but I have always trust this gut feeling of mine. I have never once regret listening to it and the only times I did was when I didnt listen to it. Im not sure if Im ready to close this chapter in my life, it feels as though I just got here and its already ending. Over the last few years, I have been building up a home and studio here in Toronto. Its a comfortable living space and work area with lots of freedom, convenience and everything I need. It might not seem much to some people but it’s pretty much all I want and the way I want it to be. Before I realize it, I have really start to grown fond to this home and studio in this city. A lot has happened over the last 2 years. Its where I first move out on my own at a young age, with no place to stay, no work, just $50 bucks in my pocket and tried to make it out in life. Here Im, 2 years later, as an independent artist, thats just starting out in his career. If I told myself back then, it would turn out like this 2 years later, I would never believe it. Somehow it did and Im very glad it did. Along that bumpy road with lots of cuts and turns I ran into a lot of really amazing people. People that helped me out when times were hard, people that I have learned a lot from, people that I began to call friends and family. I think Im really lucky to know all these people and grateful for that every day. At the start of this post, I didnt really know what I was writing but now Im starting to understand and I believe you should as well. If I do go on this journey and probably will, Ill return to Toronto someday. A city thats my home and studio. A city thats full with lots of good friends that I can call family. I guess all thats left is to see how the December show will turn out and wait for the stories ahead to be unfold. Jonathan Wu
