Introduction
Diversity is my Philosophy of Art
Art is to sharing and touching into the nature surround us. I am hoping to the better relationships in the ideal society with the love of art. The journey, maybe in my mind to the beginning of where we started in life, is probably the way to get to re-starting of our artist life-process. Also that could be questioning of articulated criticism to us, "what can we do?" as a new mankind.

THE BOOK OF INSTITUTION
Republic of the Union of Artopia, 2019
Marble carving, human blood & mixed media 11.5 x 8.2 x1.5 inch (each)
“The Institution of the Republic of Artopia” is based on Myanmar’s 2008 Constitution book, which contains numerous controversies in its political points of view. The shape of book, carved with marble stone, represents the reality of the hybrid condition of dictatorship and civilians in Myanmar today. As a country full of superstition and naivety, most rulers were mysticism-obsessed, dictator-like predators who create self- defeating policies, feeding ruthlessly on citizen’s blood. The books are presented with a curved hybrid beetlebug shape, filled with blood to activate their power.

“Art is to sharing and connect each others in the nature surround us. We may start with simple line, but later more complicated life. The journey, maybe in my mind, to the beginning of where we started, it's probably the way to get the chance of restart our life. This is also strongly against to the words “Nothing can do as a new in Art”.
