+ OVERVIEW

We come from a place of million light years away, if there's no light to connect us, how helpless could we be? The yearn for light made up a imaginary swirl of light for myself, and that's why I created "The Dance in the Light under the Arch of the Heavens".

However, our inner selves are made of light as well, the inner light is just as great and glorious as the universe, through the hands of god, and my treasuring and knowing the light, with my tender heart, each strike, each scuff, each nail, each hole, along with countless grinding and carving jobs, I finally created the dance of light that I dreamt of.

-Cheng Kuang-pai
