Undulating Waters

Arch No.21 - 2022

 

The undulating waters,
Endless in depth and breadth—
Here before us,
Before birth and death—
Sailing timelessly
Across infinite horizons—
Finding invisible solitude,
Strength and friendship
Amidst countless waves of Life.

Non-Local Movement No.9 - With Concept

Non-Local Movement No.9 - 2022

 

Non-Local Movement No.9

What can you do without energy?
Energy flow is health. Health is wholeness. Mental illness is a product of fragmentation, separation, isolation—the more concentrated, the worse. What is holistic mentality? Thought is always fragmented—it's inherent in its very nature—so a reality based on thought will always lead to confusion and suffering. This leaves a different field of the mind, a field different from thought (which will use orderly, practical thought, but is not driven blindly by thought). This is the subject of inspiration for this series of sculptures. Is there a "movement" or force from the intelligible realm (non-dualistic, "heart intelligence"), from an hypostasis, an underlying, unmanifested substance?

This piece, the 9th in the series, uses multidirectional motion, both in the material and its absence (absence being a dualistic and therefore unreal idea), to metaphorically and conceptually suggest the notion of a non-local field of motion or force, the recognition of which will complete the search for wholeness in the mind.

Fear and Love

Swept along the

Current of darkness

 

Blindly grasping

At illusory forms 

 

The distant laughter

Ensures one of light

 

Light yet to be seen

In this tunnel of fear.

 

That loving grace

Felt deeply within,

 

Is working without

In equal part

 

Where desire hasn't place

One silently retreats.

 

In quiet surrender

Arms fitfully flail

 

The laughter louder,

It's an inner sound.

 

The inaudible light

A dawning without start

 

Forgotten smiles pulled wide

With atrophied freshness

 

Gasping for air

Now pure and clear

 

Eyes open, heart too,

The rising sun does emerge

 

Changing threatening rivers

Into nurturing lakes

 

Replacing fear with love

And death with life.
