"My
work represents my personality and character. I
have lived in the United States for more than a
decade, it is inevitable that my work should be
influenced by Western culture, philosophy and style.
However, my inner thoughts are strongly rooted in
Zen-Buddhism. A free spirit must exist to make my
work come alive for others."
