      <image:caption>人 60x180cm Acrylic on Canvas “Rén” - A Chinese Mandarin word meaning “Person”  Collectivism and the enormity of social gatherings make it necessary for the Chinese people to learn from each other, share knowledge and express soulful gratitude. The Chinese character “人”, meaning “person”, is seen repeatedly in this art piece. Each individual stroke is connected and simultaneously directed towards the central circle, gathering them all, symbolizing collectivism. This showcases the circle of life that is often craved among communities in today’s chaotic world.</image:caption>

His body shifted into high gear in this high-pressure situation and the fight-or-flight instinct kicked in.
