After 2005, I got enlightenment from the Book of Changes, "There is an intermingling of the genial influences of heaven and earth, and transformation in its various forms abundantly proceeds. Thus, I created the series of Dense Mist, which indicates the moving state of "qi" in the universe and everything growing through mutual interaction. These works turn from the expression of human emotion to qi, one of the origins of heaven and earth, presenting the status of the beginning of heaven and earth's formation and everything's growth with the thick brushwork of oil painting, like as Lao Tzu said, "The soul goes around at the beginning of everything's growth." Through the black and white symbols' sinking, loating, rising, falling, moving, resting, winning, losing, bending, stretching, it implies the situation of opposition and integration among all the things."
