"Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls."
" People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't think that's what we're really seeking. I think what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive. That's what it's all finally about. " ( Joseph Campbell )
Rapture of being alive is an istallation compose by Kinetic spheres made by white traditional ceramic from Jingdezhen. They roll around at random without control or logic. Sometimes they meet each other and Sometimes they remain alone in a corner; they speak, they love and they hate, they go and come back. There is no logic in life but there are mysteries that make everything more interesting.
