(1991. 100x124)

This work expresses the inner dragon's surge—the desire to roar out to the world, like a chick breaking out of its confining shell. 'Why am I so bound? What is the cause? What lies at that fundamental base?' These were the essential questions I posed to myself. There was some primal, unknown thing hidden within, and from this, a basic instinctual desire began to bud in my heart.

I sought to create a launching pad to awaken my potential and move forward powerfully. I aim to weave complex emotions and resolute will together to achieve a dynamic and compounded synergy of feelings. The process of reflecting on myself can sometimes be burdensome, but it is the absolutely necessary journey. My confrontation with myself becomes my spiritual practice and my attitude toward life.

Meditation is not a grand act. It is an intentional and instinctive reaction by anyone who seeks to find themselves. Self-reflection is a noble endeavor, and finding the energy of life that writhes within is the most crucial process within it.
