This is the understanding of the impermanence of things and

a gentle melancholy over their passing.
It is an awareness of the transient nature of everything in life.

I want to feel the impermanence of life's fast pace, standing consciously in stillness.

Life can be envisioned as a box—an enclosed space that houses our personal experiences, dreams, and desires.

Within this box, we encounter not only the beauty of creation but also the traces of its journey. The box, like life, is subject to

damage and aging. It may bear scratches, dents, and faded surfaces, each telling a story of its encounters and trials.

 

I want my artworks to have a deeper, underlying significance. I want them to provoke thought and reflection in the viewer. 

A work of art is inherently open to interpretation by the viewer.  Each artwork can be seen as an open invitation for the viewer

to explore their own  thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

"Mono no aware"  is a Japanese concept often translated as
"the sensitivity to the ephemeral" or "the beauty of the transient."
