My journey as an artist has always been defined by the creation of series-based works, each telling its own story. The paintings before you represent an evolution and progression of my previous series titled *Emptiness and Form.* This concept is inspired by the wisdom of Gautama Buddha’s Heart Sutra, which teaches that "form is emptiness, and emptiness is form." These two forces are inseparable, much like the relationship between what we perceive and the space that surrounds it.
