Artist self narration：

These years, every time…often…once every other day, I have severe headaches, every nerve in my brain seems to expand and collide into each other, molecules pressing and rub against each other. This kind of sensation is as if the positive Pole and negative pole of a magnetic field wanting to attract each other but not quite come together, that split of a second of coming together, so bitter but so happy. It is like delicious food is about to touch your teeth, and then about to be swallowed, so fine and so wonderful.I like this process, I enjoy it, and this is my world. It is not the same as the reality; it amazes me. The flow of inspiration brings me joy and excitement.

Slowly, I start to think that it is an “illness”, I like this “illness”, it is like a rusted screw, rotting and reviving my nerves. This comes to my soul through different phases; I believe this is what frees me through meditation. Although “illness” is suffering, my thoughts experience a sudden appearance of aura. It is a dry sense of happiness.
