“This print represents my thinking of relation in between human beings and the earth. But first, what is the ultimate relationship between mankind and the earth, and what is its significance to human existence? Human behavior has become increasingly devastating to the global environment. Human beings are seeking outer space to survive, due to the achievement we made in science and technology progress; which led to an environmental destruction. From the perspective of the unity of the heavens and the human beings in the East, human beings are integrated with the earth; if we separated ourselves with the earth that we’re living in, we might not be considered ourselves as human beings.”
