Charcoal, obtained by burning wood and used to revive fire, offers a powerful metaphor for the cycle of life that has further inspired him to expand his exploration to include the fourth dimension of time.This beautiful and exciting volume is a treasure for art connoisseurs, collectors, and contemporary art researchers around the world, as well as readers interested in post-media spirituality, gestural creativity, and East Asian lineage and traditions.
