My artistic style flows directly from my writing. When I write, images rise naturally to illustrate my stories. The text below is the inspiration behind this piece.

 

When I think deeply about my hands I first think of the imprint I aspire to leave behind. I feel that my hands are meant to serve the world through my art, writing and Engaged Mindfulness projects. I am convinced that my continuation and immortality depend on the ways in which I engage with and improve the world. In The Art of Living, Thầy writes:

Throughout our life we produce energy. We say things and do things, and every thought, every word, and every act carries our signature. What we produce as thoughts, as speech, as action, continues to influence the world, and that is our continuation body. Our actions carry us into the future. We are like stars whose light energy continues to radiate across the cosmos million of years after they become extinct. 

From my book Vietnam, Where the Lotus Blooms (p. 67)
