Artist's Concept:
I (the artist) think the intention of "COSMOS" is to communicate the unity of the never-ending providence of nature's cycles of life and eternal cycles of the universe. I strive for spaces that have an airy feeling, that incorporate air and wind within them. One day, when I took a walk in the early morning when the rice flowers were blooming, a number of white thread-like spider webs were stretched across the leaves. Morning dew was sprinkled on the strands of the web. The sun had just risen, imparting the rice paddy with a silvery sparkle. This experience awakened my consciousness of nature's blessing-the changing seasons, the cycles of nature, my own being. And I directed my hands into motion hoping to infuse this concept into my work just as if I were composing a poem.
