Yai Sa represents love and patience. She waits faithfully for her beloved, who promised to return once he discovers the ultimate truth. Every day, she stands here, awaiting his return.
But what is the ultimate truth? Where does it reside? Is it found in the external world, or does it already exist within our minds? It embodies love, compassion, transformation, mortality, emptiness, and unity.
Sunrise and sunset are inseparable; without one, the other cannot exist. The sun remains still while the Earth rotates. We perceive the world as we wish it to be, so the world reflects who we are at this moment. By recognizing the true nature of the world, we gain insight into its core beauty and virtues.
This project symbolizes a world intertwined with life—a parallel existence bridging the ultimate reality and the realm of imagination. It invites us to awaken to eternal moments and the nature of selfless states. It embodies the connection between internal and external spaces, subject and object, you and me.
