“I have lived in many different countries in my<br />
life, from Asia to America. Each nation has<br />
given me unique memories about its culture<br />
and living environment. I like to wander, to<br />
listen to the voices of people, to blend into<br />
the crowd and to watch, as people juggle<br />
their everyday lives. In each one of my art<br />
pieces, I let my feelings flow from my past to<br />
the present, and seek to record most<br />
memorable scenes.<br />
Having seen cities embrace and protect<br />
nature, it is painful to witness some other<br />
places that have such destruction due to<br />
human greed. It seems like the more<br />
convenient we make our lives, the more<br />
pollution we create and the more carelessly<br />
we deplete the earth’s resources. Mother<br />
nature has given a home and we should be<br />
treating it as such. To obtain a peaceful life,<br />
one first needs to make peace with mother<br />
earth.”<br />
