MUA, 無我
EXHIBITION BY GALERIE NOIR
I LIKE LIVING WITH AN OPEN HEART.
BECAUSE I WANT TO LOVE MANY THINGS AND EMBRACE MANY PEOPLE, ALL OF THESE WORKS COME INTO BEING.
IT MAY SEEM, ON THE SURFACE, THAT THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY—YET WHAT CONNECTS EVERYTHING IS MY GAZE TOWARD THE WORLD, A BELIEF THAT WE CAN BE TOGETHER EVEN WITHIN DIFFERENCE, AND THE STRENGTH AND BEAUTY THAT BLOOM FROM WITHIN IT.
WHENEVER I CREATE OBJECTS THAT WILL REMAIN ON THIS LAND FOR A LONG TIME—BEYOND THE TIME OF MY OWN LIFE—USING MATERIALS THAT HOLD THE BREATH OF NATURE,
I FEEL, AS DEEPLY AS THEIR WEIGHT, A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY AND DUTY.
TOGETHER WITH THOSE LIVING THROUGH THE SAME ERA,
I HOPE NOT TO BECOME OVERLY SELFISH; TO SET DOWN THE FEAR OF BEING INSUFFICIENT, ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER, AND SHARE;
AND, IN THE END, TO LEAVE BEHIND THE TRUE VALUE AND BEAUTY THAT RECORDS THIS TIME.
