藉由單一技法，放棄過去擁有的技法控制，強調「放下」。
Give up the control technique learned in the past, and focus on letting it go through a single technique.

幾年來對於美術的訓練讓自己擁有高度的技巧控制，然而那些高度的技巧控制，成了駕馭媒材的必要條件，有了駕馭媒材的能力，心態上最後會陷入「自大」的狀態。「控制」能力，讓創作者擁有「人定勝天」的迷思。
I have mastered an advanced control technique via numerous years of training in fine arts.  However, as this advanced control technique becomes the major criteria in mastering media, we will eventually become arrogant when owning the ability to master media.  This control ability deludes us as art makers to believe that man can escape destiny.

「放下」過去心理學、色彩學、符號學，還有所學的相關領域，不要刻意掌控畫面的構成，也不要刻意牽動觀者的思維模式，
Let go of psychology, color theories, symbolism and all related field learned in the past, without purposely controlling the art composition, nor deliberately guiding the observers’ thought process.

畫面不給予答案，強調作者本身的「放空」，期望觀者也能以「放空」心態看待作品.
There are no answers from the paintings.  Emphasize the artist's self relief and expect to see the observers following suits (in appreciating the art works).
