我來自一個四海環繞的國家。然而由於政治問題，政府向我們灌輸大海的危險及威脅，造成即使大海圍繞我們，我們還是無法習慣它。另一方面，我國也是全世界高山比例最多的國家。同樣，政府也認為這些地方是危險的。我對這些「神話」非常好奇，也認為如果有機會更近一步去了解它們，相對也會更加了解自己。基於此，我開始描繪大海，也認為如果能越了解海浪的流動就能更加了解大海。不停反覆畫著的同時，也發現大海要如何像山一樣，也許這樣猶如機械般的重複動作某天到達一定程度時，我能夠毫無畏懼的面對它們。
I come from a country surrounded by the sea. However, due to political issues, the government has instilled within us a sense of danger with respect to the sea. As a result, even though the sea is around us, we are not accustomed to this. On the other hand, our country has one of the highest mountain areas percentage in the world. Again, it happens that these have been considered dangerous by the government, too. Now, I am very curious about these myths and I feel that if I have the chance to know more about them, I will be able to know more about myself. Because of this, I have started to portray the ocean. Originally, I thought that the more I could learn about the dynamics of the waves, the more I could understand the sea. Anyway, the more I have drawn and drawn, the more I have discovered how the sea is just like the mountains. Maybe, one day, when this kind of repeated mechanical action of drawing will reach a certain extent, I will look at them without fear.
