In 2006, I developed the ¡°Still Image¡± series into a new group of painting ----¡°Thousands Buddha¡±. This series of painting is my interpretation of Buddhist¡¯s idea of the infinitude universes and self micro cosmos. The existential Wonder of the individual¡¯s chance dwells in the uncanny feeling of the infinitude universes; every element in the painting prefigures finitude and infinitude. It is impossible to confirm or deny by its own.? It only appears not in a long term contemplate but in a short glance.
