The end is also the beginning, a cycle, a summary. Why and how to set off again? The motivation is related to belief, and the foundation for all beliefs is freedom. Freedom is not stubborn insistence. When I think back to my childhood experience of learning about the world through drawing images, nothing has changed in that regard. For the painting at this location, I have chosen my first series, Flowers the Whole Year. The vessel at the bottom is in the shape of a bronze gu; the red flower on top faces the empty cave. Flowers have remained unchanged for thousands of years, only expressing, through their most ordinary existence, their sublime and mysterious natural emotions.
