The work Twins（Lot888）which used to be exhibited in Spring Dream was created in Nie Mu’s blossom age 24.On the bright yellow ground color，two ladies with short hairs wearing sling dresses are arms crossed.One of the ladies consciously closes her eyes.The other，with her eyes open，seems undetermined，like a fledgling young woman puzzled and lost in the world.The work applies bright but soft colors to describe in details the sour and sweet tastes in modern women’s lives，which would touch the heart chord of the audience.
