OverviewThis is a book, written in both English and Chinese, about the beginning of an unfinished journey to seek life through art. The journey began in June 2014 with an exchange of ideas by email. However, the words in this book have been mainly taken from text messages and emails between March and June 2016. They become metaphorical... And then personal... But that is life...

The essence of living is to enjoy each moment unchained to the past with no concern for the future. It is not that you negate the past or never plan for the future but there are times when you should abandon yourself to the moment. I'm like a Sybarite - my brain is hard-wired into my sensory perceptions. Each touch of my fingers on the soft flesh of my love brings exquisite pleasure; the thrill of texture and smoothness; of moisture and movement, to caress - to be caressed, is happiness beyond compare. This is my heaven and I want no more - immortality does not attract or concern me for I can not conceive of an existence without my body; without its senses, without taste, without art, music and love, and the perfumes of life and the richness derived from them. Scientifically, we were told that we only have one life. I have no idea if it is true or not, as many philosophies tell us that we have a pre-existence and that life is a phenomenon of transmigration. In the present, life has physical body, a soul and spirit; the last two things are invisible, but they produce feeling, emotion, desire and passion. In my mind the present life is largely on the surface, it is not the whole truth, not real as we see by eyes. Art should help us to understand the philosophy and truth of life. Artists try to interpret and reveal as such. This is why we weave dreams, to inspire us. Zaiming Wang is from China, now living in England. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
