This tree hides the power and energy that we can't see, the continuous circulation, the golden water, the native gold, the electricity through the wood, the constant flow, to reflect the five elements of energy interlocking. With a blue colour around the child, the child is hope for the future. Wish in the future, the child can master the power to a better life.

Techniques and development
​
Using part of the hiramaki-e [1] technique
My works(Child with hope,Gold with child and To see the light of the hope in the dark) combines the gold land (gold powder densely spread over the surface) and pear land (spraying gold powder on the surface with a dithering technique), and the halo painting (I use gold and rose gold powder to slowly overlap, mixed and interlaced). The purpose is to make the ink splash and smudge effect of the ink painting, so that I use the dry cloth and the brush and gently brush the effect of heavy ink and light ink.
​
New method of experiment
In contrast, it is different from the traditional way of ink painting that is my work not painted on rice paper or cotton paper. On the other hand, it is different from the traditional lacquer ware that I do not use the lacquer liquid to fix gold powder, but I use rabbit skin glue to brush the first layer. After that, add blue pigment to draw on the canvas or wooden board , then brush a layer of oil painting mixed liquid instead of raw lacquer. Sprinkle gold powder on the base of brushed oil painting combined with liquid, brush the layering in semi-dry and semi-wet. In order to show ink painting :Ink method requires - ink color, thick, light, broken, splash, stain, scorched.
