One day, I came across a fallen tree in the mountain behind my house.
That tree was big and its roots were upside down.
It was a silent existence.

The branches were well used for firewood in my house.
The chainsaw I use is very loud. The noise fills the mountain.
I make the logs square, paint and draw lines on them slowly and carefully.

I am the environment for the mountain.
I am the environment for the world.
I believe artists must exist as both agent and environment.
