Travel is both the source and purpose of my work.

Usually I travel into the past time and space of human beings through my eyes, heart, and work. Within these travels, it brings a value to my humble existence as a member of the human race and my role in the culture. The journeys are very sweet, but to taste travelers are required to overcome the unbearable pain of chaos and the temptation of corruption which entices the travelers in a mirage-like image. For me, the world is like a swift current, while the inside of my body is a calm pond. I dip one foot into the swift current and the other into the calm pond.

When I was a child I liked to play on the seesaw.

With the weight of my sister on the other side I could see the factories far away over the wall, and with a downward movement, I could see the blue sky becoming bigger and bigger. I can still remember vividly balancing on the seesaw. Today I enjoy the slow and calm balance between the head and the heart, the swift current and calm pond, the factories over the wall and the blue sky. Playing on the seesaw we can not feel the subtle changes of the world without an effort to find balance. To a certain extent, even the seesaw requires both tension and rhythm.
