Passion For Snow 


What is this addiction?                                            
Am I hooked?
There is a Chinese saying: sheng xian qi zhong
Which means to be ''indulge into one's own world''
This is how I found my 'zahir'
    



When we are sculpting, I get to immersed into my own physical world. I like the pain of the chillness by the cold wind as it seem to be baptizing my soul, saving me out of the superficial world I'm living in. The world where,

Ones never passion for Arts,
Ones never appreciate love,
Ones never feel for mankind,
Ones never love the nature,
Ones never care for the world.



This world that I'm living in is so superficial that there are times I almost feel that I'm not alive.
Hence, when I fly away from my work, my family , my burdens for Snow sculpture travels, I felt pain, freedom, and alive :)
Making new friends who share their dreams and passions in the snow sculpture festivals, make me energized n refreshed. These are the moments where people truly care about Arts, and passionable on things they believe, they care.



That is the amazement of Art's Passion. :)
