Statement
La serie "Caminos al infinito" es simplemente un pequeño intento de transmitir cómo podría sentirse el humano contemporáneo frente a la incertidumbre de su próxima reencarnación, pero que sigue su camino. También incluí la serie "Tao" influenciada por los poemas y las pinturas de las apreciaciones de las criaturas vivas vistas en el Taoísmo.
Aprendí desde la infancia de ver a los animales e insectos como reflejos de nosotros mismos, como almas humanas previas reencarnadas en estos cuerpos. .... ¿Cómo podemos seguir dañando nuestra planeta con nuestra basura, quemando y matando si nos convertiremos en una parte de ella en la próxima vida?
