STATEMENT
In the context of literati landscape painting, I question the world to ask questions rather than what artistic creation expresses. I constantly question the meaning of life and reflect on myself: 'Why were we born as living beings, how do we exist in this world, and where do we go after death? Creation is an integral part of my life.
