The new year has arrived. I find myself wondering what I should do in 2026. To be honest, I am not really sure - but I do know what I will NOT do. From now on, I will no longer deliberately try to improve my art in pursuit of “progress” or so called “success”. It has become clear to me that all the paths labeled as “success” are actually traps. We think we are moving toward a better future, but really, we are just running on a hamster wheel. If life has any purpose at all, perhaps it is simply to witness the wonder of the world. Beauty – our arts included – is a manifestation of the divine. We are already complete; no improvement is required. I hope you enjoy every moment you are given. May you be peaceful and happy.
Thank you for viewing my art,
Qiang
