  • “The reason for drawing drops of water is to dissolve everything into drops of water and return it transparently into nothingness. When we have turned anger, unease, and fear into emptiness, we can experience peace and harmony. Unlike others, who mostly wish to expand their egos, I prefer to search for a way to express my ego by aiming at its extinction.”
    — Kim Tschang-Yeul
