Statement
The billowing wave is one enormous ocean,
The enormous ocean is one billowing wave.
The shimmering wave is the whisper of blue from the far-away universe―
The individual and the community, micro and macro, life and death, self and the
others, human and the Nature, and works of art and its spectators…
I try to portray the neutral part in which lies the ambiguity within relationships, the something that exist in between them that belongs to nowhere else, yet may be the key to the true nature of the world, while imagining the meaning of our existence at this very moment.
