“My mind is shrouded in a cloud of distress, Though I am supreme, hope\’s flame flickers, The unrelenting noise of life continues its flow.”

I explored the concept of reaching a new existence by immersing myself in physical and human activities and presented my latest experiment at the Asian Biennale. Through my performance, I sought to capture the imperishable survival of hope, even in the face of life\’s obstacles, by embodying the accumulated clouds of pain that can sometimes obscure our path in life. With the help of foam that resembled clouds, I moved through different physical postures, allowing the audience to witness the rhythmless but resonating nature of this experience.

Repetitive and rhythmic physical action and activity can drive someone to his absolute and sovereign existence. The performance action was developed to examine this Idea. This is the latest of many more tests of this idea.
