Stillness, this is not about emotions.  Existentialism is the gravest rebellion against metaphysics. Originally, pure abstract art is the logical veil of metaphysics but abstract expressions seeks a middle way between existentialism and metaphysics, while minimalism indulges itself in the self-perceived “god and man in one”. These theories seek to battle for dominance but all inevitably lean towards the doubt of the void, in the pure sense of existentialism. I insist on the entanglement between life and death of the existing beings but walk towards the stillness discerned by other people’s eyes, which is not connected with feelings or emotions. Following Kant and Heidegger, I once thought that my spiritual journey was similar to that of Kierkegaard, who believed in Christian existentialism. Only I was not sure if his god was overly protective of humanity while I was less fervent and more moderate. After all, life is not a material product or a slice of time. Rather, it is a chance or inevitable meeting of infinite matters in an endless process. Art walks hand in hand with life, growing or waning with it; while life as a whole eventually becomes selfless, emotionless, without sorrow or joy. Entrusting itself to the care of the unmoved and unfeeling god, and without perils or danger, life repeats itself over and over again. Something ushers in nothing and vice versa. And postmodern tricks are the solution to the anxiety of the time. Developing, I naturally discern the intrinsic secrets while instinctively opposing trickery. After transcribing the sutra for almost one hundred times, I suddenly found enlightenment and hence started to read it backwards. Life is death; dirty is clean; up is also down. All things therefore are in themselves both good and bad, both increasing and decreasing.Therefore one may say there are such things as form, perception, concepts, thinking process, and consciousness. Our senses such as eye, ear, nose, tongue, body and mind are leading us to illusion; thus one may also say there is reality in visible form, sound, smell, taste, touch and mind knowledge. There are also such things as the realms of sense from sight up to mind, and such things as the links of existence from ignorance and its end to old age and death and their end. Also the Four Noble Truths are existent, just as there are such things as wisdom and also gain. (Loy Luo)
