“Memories of some days may always have a place in my heart, not to remember their beauty, but to remind me that not every stories in life are perfect. While this imperfection may bring me sorrow and grief, it also represents the forces of nature, as well as the austere, modest, and incomplete quality of the natural processes. It endowed me with the aesthetic vision in my heart, and has always been a source of inspiration to my art.”
