Features: Three parts art, two parts painting, plus one part mischief. If her paintings are enigmatic, with a mysterious purple and yellow hue, then her writing is like the enchanting spell of a fragrant breeze—small thief's sharp arrows slanting their way, unstoppable. Even when ambushed, one can't help but exclaim in delight; that kind of pleasure is like finding treasure when poor, like striking gold in the dark, like finding a restroom when urgently needing it, or having when not able to perform; it opens the meridians of life and death, like being awakened and enlightened, bringing both body and mind to great ease.
