The act of gazing may be the highest realm that contemporary art can reach by distancing itself from history and approaching eternity (The Aesthetics
Every era must restart its own "spiritual" project. (Spirituality = various plans, terms, and action concepts dedicated to resolving the inherent and intractable structural contradictions of the human condition, striving to perfect human consciousness, and aiming at transcendence.) In modern times, "art" has become one of the most vivid metaphors for this project. Once the activities of painters, musicians, poets, and dancers are categorized under the general term "art" (a relatively recent t...

Despite the materialistic nature of this society, we still need strong willpower, aspiration, and inner vitality. A person with...

Many of life's major events occur in bed. From birth to death, the bed is an intimate space of daily life, brimming with the ultimate expression of life's meaning. Awake and asleep, safe and vulnerable, healthy and sick, private and intimate—what object is more intimately connected to us than the bed?

Don't say that the flowers bloom late
Mom loves flowers. Duke Ai said, "I have heard of this."
