Nothing in the Heart reveals a pure heart inspired by profound life experiences. Li Chen traveled along the Central Cross-Island Highway in central Taiwan, passing through Tienhsiang and Taroko, and immersed himself in the icy waters and hot springs

of the mountains. The terrain here is steep, with cliffs on both sides froming a deep gorge; looking up, one sees majestic peaks soaring into the clouds, while looking down reveals shimmering undercurrents. When mist envelops the area, the gorge resembles an unfathomable abyss, evoking a deep sense of tranquility within. The figure in the artwork seems to exist in a dreamlike state amidst the clouds and mist of Taroko, with limbs submerged in water, as if merging with nature. The artist skillfully employs sculptural techniques to convey the cold texture of the water, the serenity of sleep, and the dynamic flow

of light. Through the interplay of solid and liquid, the artist successfully captures the exquisite balance between reality and illusion to exist in a dreamlike state amidst the clouds and mist of Taroko, with limbs submerged in water, as if merging with nature.
