Dream and reality are in constant fierce collision, striking every soul that is eager to fly, like a silkworm always tightly wrapped layer on layer around the wings that want to spread, like a gorgeous shackle always attached at the very moment you want to dance lightly . . . .
"Dream" and "reality" have always played the opposite of "contradictions" in the growth of many people. Whether in family or in society, they make people waver and hesitate between the two. . . Creation is rooted in the perception of the depths of every creator. My creation is rooted in the “dream” and “reality” of my growth. It is designed to express this gorgeous and multifarious world, expanding in my nebulous and ethereal self, bringing incalculable loneliness and desolation. . .
