Poet：Flow

Go with the flow,

because we are the flow.

Explanation：Flow

There seems to be a mysterious current flowing through this world—a force beyond human understanding, a flow of the cosmos. Some may call it fate, others may call it guidance. Resisting this flow can sometimes bring suffering. Surrendering to it may lead us to a whole new world.

Each person interprets it in their own way. But perhaps, this flow has no good or bad. It simply exists, purely—as the flow of the cosmos itself.

In this work, I minimized the influence of ego, and let the natural grain of the wood lead the way, layering color along its flow. In doing so, the patterns that emerged—mysterious and unplanned—became a pure visualization of the cosmic flow.

It is painted with special luminous pigments, and in darkness, it gently glows. Light and darkness—two opposing forces—embrace each other, and by night, the painting reveals another side of itself. We often wish to avoid the darkness. Yet it is because of the darkness that light can shine. It is how we learn love more deeply—how we shine for someone, for this world. That is the meaning held within this work.

This piece consists of six separate panels that together form one large painting. What once seemed separate may reveal itself to have always been one. And in that moment of realization, we may remember something important—something we had forgotten.

If, while standing before this piece, you feel something quietly tremble within you, that is surely the rhythm of the cosmos flowing through you—your inner light.

May you treasure that resonance, that radiance, always. Everything is part of a perfect flow. You, too—each and every one of us—are that flow itself. So trust. Everything, truly everything, is okay.
