FEATURED WORK

– Lattice Receptacle, 2005-2013

Every void plays a role as calligraphic receptacle, and they may find honesty meaning of existence by having being fulfilled somehow. It is the equal principle underlies the void “on natty plate” and the void “in space.” I believe that a further action in representing ceramic art holds unembellished potential to satisfy people’s open intelligence, and invites us to infinite experiences.
