Clear Calm Free Human (2021)
An alchemic recipe for attuning that is at the same time mythological, medicinal, and revealing of a cosmological order. To relieve an overflow of shadows in the melancholy lungs, to re-order the emotive in stagnated waters, to keep dexterity and flow and mobility of life. This piece borrows from the spirit of 12th Century Immortal Sister Sun Bu-er infused with Taiwan’s national recommendation of anti-covid herbal tea.
