Then the light reveals the world below,
All the lively souls are swallowed.
I find myself floating free in the air.
Looking around—
Nothing there more than the light shows
Till my sight focusing on the shadows;
Then there is a NO,
As a manifesto.
I die;
Still, the light,
Rushing and shining beyond land and sea.
(Me) As a carrier and a child.
From the sky, I am falling--waking me up frightened;

Or I’ve never recalled,
Yet what I resist is so clear.
Breathing in me like a child of mine,
Gleaming bright whenever it appears.
It’s not me while it is I;
Hiding from awareness as it’s always here.

Inspired by the transient, temporality, and pluralism in light and nature, Weesapen often creates elusive hallucinated phenomena in his paintings. With photographic precision in video-gamefic colours, the exaggerated form and peculiar juxtaposition in his work are the agency that he can explore the system of nature, rather than the system that he cur ...
