the Mural - the Mirror
Every day is a new day- for this mural
Sun and rain dust the colors.
Shift of human mind echoes new meaning.
What is new softens into the familiar and lost in memories.
Every day is a new day- for this mural.
It yarns for new images to fill the void.

The “Taiwan Buffalo,” created by iconic sculptor Huang Tu-shui in 1930, appears on the right side of the mural among images from Taiwanese museums. This bronze relief—featuring three nude shepherd boys and five water buffalo beneath plantains—symbolizes the harmony between humans and farm animals, a theme deeply rooted in Taiwanese heritage.
On the left side of the mural, The Evolving Southland reimagines Huang Tu-shui’s water buffalo alongside Texas longhorns, set under a collage of NASA space imagery.
Through this composition, I reflect on humanity’s connection to the Earth and on the Southland where my life now unfolds—another Southland, here in Texas.
