Watercolor, monoprint, hand-stitched on used tea bag

... people come to the sea, and see nothing but salt water, sharks and fishes. They say, “Where is this pearl others speak about? Perhaps there is no pearl.” How can the pearl be gained merely by looking at the sea? Even if they measured out the sea, cup by cup, a hundred thousand times, they would never find the pearl. A diver is needed to discover that pearl, and not just any diver, but a diver who is both fortunate and nimble. Humanity’s sciences and arts are like measuring the ocean with a cup. To find the pearl calls for something else.
