Burning of Note Offerings, a continuation of Symphonic Poems, is a fusion of the mystique/spiritual and tradition/modern elements. The free-flowing and smooth brush strokes are brimming with human desire. The note offerings incinerate into the energy of life that forces us to look past the flames, the vastness of the universe, the uncertainty of life, and investigate the fine-line between black/white and yin/yang. This energy is passed on forever. The past cannot return and only the present memories remain; living in this very moment is the only truth. (Liu Sheng-jung)
