Way: Truth: Life

Listen to me....

2006-12-10T01:00:00.000+08:00

The concept of “life” arises from my mind alone.
Evidently it may similarly be said that life had its real beginning when man put thoughts into it.
Life is full of excitement.
It represents freedom,
flowing in the sky independently,
flying like a bird,
looking forward and
hoping to travel everywhere to look for “food”.
“Food” for energy to keep my mind working
and to achieve something as well to gain knowledge.
It keeps me going to learn new things and to aim as high as the ceiling and if possible to touch the sky.
I achieve as far as I could, now and always…

Artist Statement

2006-12-10T00:55:00.000+08:00

My work often reflects on the process of life. My continuous learning and experimenting lead me to some avenues of direction. Life as an artist differs as being an educator. Direct interaction and understanding comprises that of an educator's life. As an artist myself, artwork is a form of meandering relations to others in which was created to communicate myself to the world.

Art is a universal language. You don’t have to understand me; all you need is to read my work and ponder beyond what it seems.

I strive to capture simple and emotional moments of human interaction in our surroundings. I am trying to evoke the truth that in the perception of all beauty always have a facet of “mystery” and this may not be observed.

True Understanding

2005-05-11T00:00:00.000+08:00

In the midst of perfection, there is unperceived imperfection. This work seeks to capture simple and emotional moments of human interaction in our surroundings. I am trying to evoke the fact that, in the perception of beauty, hidden meanings are often overlooked.

Title: Curb of Subservience
Posted by Hello

Aspirations, dreams and goals in one's life may seem straightforward, achievement can come from self-effort or external help, but in reaching them obstacles can be found underfoot with every step. The path we choose or made to follow may seem straight and long but may just as easily end in a fork, perceptions we all have and the reality that exist may not always run parallel. It may be better taking the unbeaten path to one's goal then by the common route, as the difficulties faced earlier only make the journey more rewarding in the end.
