This piece reflects the imbalance created by the limited expansion of human consciousness. When our awareness focuses solely on protecting ourselves, our families, or even our nations, we generate disharmonious energy. Humanity, by persistently emitting vibrations that are out of sync with the natural world, distorts the essence of its existence. The conscious mind, driven by ego, fails to align with the true nature of life, perpetuating dissonance between human action and the universal order. Mediums: Sumi-ink, water and Xuan paper.

Bio
I gaze into the blurring ink and empty space, where existence takes form. As water meets ink, a quiet world emerges and expands. I do not paint—I simply observe and embrace the unfolding transformation.
