Boundless Vision by Sandy TengXiao Xia (Artist, Masters in Arts):
The way of art values the spirit rather than the form. Every artist's greatest challenge lies in surmounting and shedding the simple image of shapes, and thus deducing the manner of communicating the essence within.
The artist's perspective is often one of aerial. (S)he sees what is obscure to the commoner's eye and performs what the hoi polloi cannot. It is a fight against the resignation to being bound by the worldly structure, for the cause of pursuing a vivid aspiration.
