Victoria Yau: Near the Edge of Your Soul: SF Art Fair 2025

Fort Mason Center; San Francisco, CA
Overview

A young lad asked, "How do I view the art works while living so far away?"
The elderly person answered, "Close your eyes, pretend you are blind." 
The young lad questioned again, "If I don't have eyesight, how can I have a view?" 

The elderly person answered, "View them with your soul–
                          As if a blind man found his own visual expedition." 

The young lad closed his eyes and sighed, "I see nothing. It seems empty. It seems familiar."

The elderly person answered comfortingly, "It seems familiar to you

                         because it is always there

                                     near the edge of your soul.

                The vast emptiness has no boundary, no limit.

         Like the water, dancing in the vast emptiness.

                   Like the water, touching the distant shore. 

                                             As if it touched your soul

                                                         each time...each wave...
