The title of this series is "Eternal Flowers." Beautiful flowers run through all the works, and no two are the same. This seems to be a metaphor for the uniqueness of life throughout long history.

In a sense, death is not the opposite of life, but an eternal part of it. The theme of "death" in Western painting has never ceased to resonate. Every time I confront the depiction and expression of "death," it prompts deep reflections on the meaning of life. It’s like a protagonist hidden within another protagonist. One life’s respect for another, and one life’s respect for itself, are of utmost importance.

Another hidden meaning in this series, "Eternal Flowers," is a form of "protection." Protect love, protect faith, protect dignity, and guard all the beautiful moments in your memory that you cherish; they will last forever.

In each work, an ancient artifact guides the viewer into a different narrative context, allowing them to inject their own perceptions into the final image. The appearance of flowers serves both as a viewer and as a participant in the story of the piece, continuing to embody the "image of the invisible God." It is not the human experience that is visible on the surface, but "God" as the spiritual essence, and the two are intertwined until eternity!
