it was not until i started to paint the life of the giant and spectacular watershed with its warts,
that i stopped spending idly my most time on a swing.
only after i drew pictures using tens of thousands brush movements, i could get all kinds of anxiety, frustration and disappointment off my chest, and overcome very painful memories of it.

Iguazu Falls
The first task assigned to me was to reproduce the grand scenery of the lguazu Falls on the canvas visually.
The moment my task made some accomplishments, I came to realize that a waterfall is not merely a visual scenery that unfolds before the eyes.
Roarings as if blasting at hundreds of decibels,
A sense of fear arising from the sight of watershed seemingly
Swallowing all objects in the world,
The feeling of Cold Temperature as ice,
A sense of awe of all the objects and the insensitive world,
All the feelings and sentiments delivered through the five
Senses…
I couldn’t encompass them all on a canvas.
From that moment on, I began to place the stress on some partial essence and feelings.
Through the changing images of the waterfall, with time and space varying,
I attempted to search for the essence of universe and life.
I can’t take my eyes off the Iguazu Falls, under my wish to materialize some parts out of the total elements and in turn,
Higher level of totality from the parts.
