The artwork, The Sound of Emptiness invites the viewer into a meditative exploration of the Chinese Buddhist concept of emptiness and existence - "非空非有，即空即有", which roughly translates to "Neither emptiness nor existence, what is empty is existing." This holistic installation and sound art piece, grounded in the elemental simplicity of water, serves as a thought-provoking reflection on the paradoxical nature of reality as seen through the lens of Buddhist philosophy.
