THE THREE HEARTS
One of my favorite piece. The Three Hearts. This is a very significant piece. This was a pivotal point in my art journey where I thought I have found the ultimate technique to make art, but I notice the audience engagement in the work was diminishing. This is when I decided, what if I destroy my work, will the efforts disappear? I decided to take my favorite work and start tearing them up. Afterward, I try to glue them back together. Just like your favorite mug that is broken and you try to glue it back together. Is it still your favorite? Ultimately, I try to find more ways to put more efforts.
TRANSFORMING NEGATIVE INTO POSITIVE
When I started this piece I had a vision of transforming negative into positive.
There are some people whose lives seem positive while for some other people, they let the negative emotions and negative thoughts control their lives. The negativity that is outwardly portrayed is a reflection of one’s mind and being emotional. Life is so negative because the inside has a negative outlook.
If one doesn’t want to be negative anymore, then we need to have the willingness to start transforming our mentality.
THE REAL STORY
This piece is called Fairy Tale because we all have ideas of what our life is supposed to be and we spend the rest of our life shooting for those ideas. We put a lot of effort, like shooting a movie for our life. Rinse and repeat continuously. But what is the real result for life? Where is our life heading? The Enlightened One taught, that transcending this life is the ultimate concern. Why are there sufferings and regrets? At the end of life, people might realize, that all the achievements and success may not be the Way. Where I am heading next is the ultimate!
