Professor Ying Kit Chan presents solo show at JCC Gallery
"10,000 Thoughts" consists of forty small sketches and photographic prints embedded with philosophical contemplations of the state of global environmental conditions. He continues to explore the theme of deep ecology, an ecocentric rather than anthropocentric worldview, which emphasizes interconnectedness and harmony of the universe. In addition to the deep ecology philosophy, the work interprets Taoist and Buddhist thoughts, as well as Jewish ideas of nature, rain, tree, soil and the Sabbath.
An original etching by Professor Chan, entitled Palm Trees, will be available for sale. Proceeds will go to the University of Louisville Hite Art Institute Printmaking Scholarship Fund.
