Renaissance on One’s Own – Works by Nick Tai

We all have had the experience of appreciating some world-renowned masterpieces. Standing in front of them, we seem to find ourselves looking for indicators of our understanding and knowledge, even points of view of the artworks. It is in the process of appreciation that we often further our understanding… we see ourselves in the process. This is like a search for the self. Time and time again, the appreciation results in an expansion of our facets, one after another, with which our personalities are shaped. Interpretation, when done recurrently, broadens our personality each time.
