概念的產生，

影像的浮現，

編織、串連。

情緒的表達，

或深、或淺，

高潮、底潮。

轉到了牛角尖，

才發現，

原來藝術，

是用來修行的禪。

First of all,

There was,

The conception

Of a thought.

Visual and meaningful,

Deep and shallow,

High and low.

Emotions fighting through,

A block of words,

In order to be shown.

For what?

For naught.

For Art

Is

A path

Without goal.
