LIN Hwai-min takes that appraisal as inspiration for his own work of abstract beauty born from land and lore. LIN uses Formosa, a beautiful island beset by earthquakes, typhoons and societal rifts, as a metaphor of the world we live in and to contemplate an epigram from the Buddhist Diamond Sutra: “All things contrived are like dreams, illusion, bubble, shadow, and as dewdrop or lightning. They should be
regarded as such.”
