This painting is based on a funny dream I had one night. I dreamt that I was shopping with friends at a department store when we suddenly saw a booth advertising, "New! Let a big fat pig on your back give you a stress-relieving massage." The saleswoman enthusiastically described how comfortable this service was. Driven by curiosity, I lay down on the massage bed. The moment the pig was placed on my back, I realized I had been fooled! The pig didn't move at all! It was just a big fat pig pressing down on me, making it hard to breathe!

Thinking back, I was anxiously waiting for admission results from schools during that time. I was tired of receiving rejection letters every week and kept wondering what I would do if no school accepted me. Had all my efforts over the past year been in vain? Would I have to continue with my current job? But I didn't want to! That kind of pressure might be just like the big fat pig, making me feel utterly miserable...
