Chasing Light | The Shepherd | Sunward Bloom | All Life Flourishes

“Born to Shine” is inspired by a wordplay in Chinese: yáng can refer to both “SHEEP” (羊) and “SUN” (阳). The sheep evokes gentleness, harmony, and care, while the sun represents light, hope, and renewal. Together, they form the central imagery that connects these four works.

From the pursuit of light in Chasing Light, to the guidance and protection of The Shepherd; from the growth of Sunward Bloom, to the vitality of All Life Flourishes, the four works unfold as a journey toward light—through care, growth, and renewal—revealing the enduring beauty and resilience of life.

In celebration of the Year of the Sheep, may this gentle yet steadfast spirit be a blessing to every life: may we follow the light, hold one another with love, grow toward the sun, and flourish together.
