Title of work: Broaden the Horizons

Artist Statement:

Confucius says, "The wise find pleasure in water; the virtuous find pleasure in hills. The wise are active; the virtuous are tranquil. The wise are joyful; the virtuous are long-lived." That’s why I explore Nature to broaden my horizons.

Wise men are as stable as mountains. They are considerate and reasonable. Whenever they encounter difficulties, they react quickly and solve the problem. Their personalities are like water, quiet but active, like a non-stop flowing stream.

Most importantly, they are aware of their shortcomings and seeking the right direction for learning.
