Artist statement 

Much of my work explores spirituality. It is in my nature to be strongly interested in the spirit, but the ecological and social problems of the world also prompt my interest in interfaith and intercultural friendships. This is my way to build peace in the world: person-to-person. No one can be left out. Each and every one of us needs to be included in the hearts of other people. This artwork, “Peace Robe: No one can be left out”, is to remind myself to open my heart to you, whoever you are.

我的作品注重精神性内涵。由于对精神，生态和社会方面的问题的特别有兴趣，我开始关注人文，宗教和文化和国际交流。我对世界 和平的理念-通过和世界各地的人互相沟通和交流，促进国际之间的友好关系。 我的画作-"和平长袍：任何一个国家都不能遗漏" ，是为了提醒自己，接纳和包容所有来自不同国度的人。

Peace Robe: No one can be left out  和平长袍
