All in One
Chicago,2023“Heaven, Earth, and l were produced together, and all things and l are one.”
All In One is a philosophical exploration of the essence of the universe and life. Drawing inspiration from the Taoist principle in the Tao Te Ching: “The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things,” the work captures the textures of fruit surfaces. These textures evoke imagery of mountain ranges, rivers, wombs, cells, and even the vast cosmos, presenting a mysterious connection between the microscopic and the macroscopic.
Through undefined forms and unfinished expressions, the work celebrates the value of imperfection and uncertainty in both life and art. It invites viewers to contemplate the profound relationships between nature and self, the universe and the individual. All In One advocates for embracing impermanence and interdependence, highlighting the essence of coexistence and mutual growth in all things—a poetic meditation on the meaning of existence.
