One seeks what one does not have. I searched for myself because I had no idea who I was; that is why I studied and practiced Zen. I seek people connected to the land because I have always been uprooted. Through my work, I arrive at a natural order of things. Emptiness drives movement; lack creates the need for creation. My path—from Zen to a connection with the land, from discipline to creativity—reflects this inevitable law of the spirit.
