What touched me the most about hearing this Japanese tourist coming to Singapore for the first time was how he is here for a personal retreat because of a season of having his dreams for the future crushed.
“Chancing upon your exhibition when I’m in the valley just filled my heart with so much hope. I’m so inspired to dream again. I’d like to purchase 新 to remind myself that a new season awaits me. I feel God sent me here for a reason. I only decided to fly here 3 days ago.”
I’m filled with awe and wonder at the privilege to hear people’s lives touched by my artwork.

Thank you Ronald, a lawyer I deeply respect for his work for the underprivileged, for purchasing one of my favourite Original pieces 梦想 today.
When I heard how it inspired you to press in to see one of your dreams come to fruition, I had goosebumps all over.
I pray that as God has fulfilled my dreams through this exhibition, that it may set yours, and many others’ dreams, free too.
Thank you 🥲

Someone asked me today how I made a career of being a calligrapher artist and I laughed, admitting that I haven’t written in 20 years.
That as of 2 days before the exhibition, I had no funds but $3K to pay for this extensive endeavor.
But when I stood today looking at this, I realized, God provided for this endeavor worth close to $93K.
He paid my debt. He’s not a moment late.
When we obey, He provides.
I’m in awe of His goodness.

I simply loved meeting J, a long-time follower whom I got to meet in person for the first time.
I’m so in awe how God used this exhibition to speak His creativity to meld art, missions and vocation to you in such a personal and deep way.
It was my privilege meeting you!
