Immersion and Spreading consists of two parts. For immersion, it means that when ink is immersed into the fiber of paper, that piece of paper becomes a vessel for inclusiveness and tolerance, where the released emotions find reasons in the sense of rituality. Spreading, on the other hand, is a totally different sensation. From a state without borders to actively restricting shapes, it all represents the boundary of thought and the unboundedness of the field of thinking. Whether immersion or spreading, and no matter what they express respectively, they are both pursuing an eternal theme within a certain length of time. In here, while the picture may be a snapshot of a instant, it is also a proof of multiple thinking. The direction shown by the picture may allow different imaginations and spaces for different viewers. It’s not a deliberate creation, but a natural expression after a subconscious comprehension of one’s inner senses and touches.
