Painting is a way of “looking.” Things are always in existence and nothingness. I feel that I have (at the same time) seized it, lost it, and have to start all over again. I don’t paint anything for proving something, just asking the things around me with my sincere heart and devote myself wholeheartedly to the situation of mutual observation and integration. Painting to me is not the matter of what to paint, but to record the people or things changed at the moment; I don’t pay attention to the subject matters of paintings, but changes.
