As Dream 人生如夢 / 2021 Merit Award: 3x3 / Illustration Annual No.18
I am inspired by life concepts from Buddhism and a story from one of the greatest philosophers in China, Zhuang-Zi. In this story, Zhuang-Zi dreamed he was a butterfly. But when he woke up, he questioned if his real life is just a butterfly's dream. The dreamer in this drawing is a woman with butterfly wings. The life stages surrounding her are illusions, conveying the cycle of birth to reincarnation. It shows how our senses can generate feelings driving us to pursue our desires and can cause consequences that we may bring into our next lives.
