This abstract piece visualizes the delicate, intricate symphony of connections that bind all life—from the microscopic dance of cells to the vast, unseen networks of support that cradle our existence. Through fluid, interwoven forms and harmonious color transitions, the painting echoes the idea that no being is ever truly alone. Instead, we exist as part of a greater resonance—a quiet, constant chorus of unity, strength, and belonging. It’s a tribute to the invisible threads that connect us, reminding us we are always surrounded, always held.

Transitioning from a science background to the art world, my journey is one of continuous learning and exploration. My passion for art ignited years ago in a medical research lab, where the vibrant colors and intricate structures of tissues and cells captivated me. Despite lacking formal training, my dream blossomed when I met my mentor, JenZ Shifu, who introduced me to his unique non-representational art form called "Iconography," blending Chinese calligraphy, ink art, and Western painting. Under his close supervision, encouragement, and inspiration, I have passionately embraced my artistic journey. My work was recently featured in *Artistcloseup* magazine, and I had the privilege of showcasing my art in New York City's Artifact Gallery. I paint spontaneously, capturing emotions that often surprise me in their complexity. As described by the gallery, the tension felt between color and form is a driving force in my work, where color plays a principal role, and sensitivity to hue and tone creates a vibrant presence.
