THE PUZZLE OF MINDS COLLAGE REINTEPRETATION


COLLAGE OF MINDS People’s minds jumps from one fragment of life to another, perhaps which forms a life long dream. Humans are bound by the patterns that they are identified with. They sometimes glad, sometimes anxious, sometimes excited, sometimes sad. Isn’t we are making the life smaller and limited?


LONG-FORGOTTEN

WISDOM EXCITED ANXIOUS SAD GLAD

REALITY SYMBOL

anxious

But is there something been forgotten? There are also moments when you feel peaceful and care about the gain and loss no more. Many sorrows seem just gone, with the rise of a deep peace and happiness in your heart. That is so close to your reality.


Step out to watch the minds as a spectator

LEMONS IN THE MIRROR SPATIAL LABYRINTH

The mirror is making everything confusing, the space refleted within it, and the cup...... there is something wrong with it. On the left exists a weird object and is twisting the spatial order of all the other objects, or not? But, luckily, the light of the space is so warm and cosy. Guess it is somewhere real.

MOUNTAINS CHINESE LANDSCAPE

Chinese landscape painting is one of the most inspiring and stirring arts I have ever seen. It derives from the Chinese philosophy and Zen Buddism. The nature is not separated from humans, instead, we are part of the nature, with our spirituality connected to the universe. Chinese landscape never tries to depict the “real�, but to evoke the same feelings one might have when he sees the paintings as what he feels right in that scenery. Painting is a medium that enables the audiance direcely reach the spiritual level the painter is, or used to be, experiencing. This oil painting is all the same, except that it is on the photographs. The strokes will take care of all the thing the painter wants to say, and no words are needed any more.
