The Relay Exhibition of Taichung City Artists has come to a successful close, and throughout the process, I’ve gained many insights. Of course, reflecting on my own work is the most important part, but what was truly valuable to me was the interaction with the public. Normally, I’m not someone who takes the initiative to speak with strangers, but this time I pushed myself to do so. The feedback from these unfamiliar faces, I believe, was the most honest and direct. Some people appreciated my work, while others didn’t — and I’ve come to accept it all with an open mind.

In the realm of art, I’ve been searching for my own path, yet often find myself lost in the opinions of others. Through trial and error, the direction I’m aiming for has gradually become clearer. Time waits for no one, yet things cannot be rushed either. No wonder the elders say that the path of art is a journey of spiritual cultivation. Since I’ve chosen this path, I shall walk it with dedication.

台中市藝術家的接力展圓滿落幕，這當中有許多的心得。當然檢視自己的作品是最重要的，而當中和民眾的互動是我最難得的經驗，平時我是很少主動和陌生人打招呼的。這一次卻強迫自己必須主動。而陌生人給我的回饋，我相信是最直接的。有人欣賞，有人不喜歡，這一切都隨緣。我在藝術的領域裡尋尋覓覓的想找到自己，卻又迷惑在別人的意見當中。在跌跌撞撞下，我要的範圍已經慢慢在縮小當中。時間不會等待，卻也急不得。難怪前輩會說藝術是一條修行之路。既然已經選擇了，就好好的修行吧！

感謝所有的大師,前輩,我的恩師及親朋好友還有我的老婆
