I have always admired the global work of the Asia Society in representing the broad spectrum of Asian artists globally. It was founded by John D Rockefeller 3rd in 1956 before I was born!! I am deeply honoured for this award that they have so graciously conferred on me as the 2023 Asian Art Game Changer and Visionary. Thankyou 🙏🏼🙏🏼
