In “Listen. Wind and Rain,” Huang Jui-Yuan’s unique woodcarving expression attracts us by giving the impression that the body and clothing are being affected by the silent wind and rain; the deep and distant scar holes are reminiscent of stormy coastal cliffs that have waves crashing into them. This ancient lighthouse stood throughout the ages shining into the darkness, as light revolving through the suffering gave prominence to the remote spirit. Looking into the distance, it

is alone in the vastness depth of life.

    Listening to the wind and rain in the moment means taking notice of both the external wind and rain as well as the internal wind and rain of our personal trials and hardships, as the wind and rain are both qualitative and invisible. The wind and rain appear in various forms that correspond to various life issues: the spring rain is silent, the summer wind is hypnotizing, the autumn rain is worrisome, and the winter wind is as strong as frost. …or the rain is sweet and moist, or warm with the breeze, or destroys violently. The avenues of wind and rain are ruthless and leave behind countless emotional memories and notches in nature, the world, the home, the body, and the soul. These countless layers of chiseled imprints have a unique personality to hear one’s own voice in the wind and rain. In “Listen. Wind and Rain,” we can see the unique scenery constructed by Huang Jui-Yuan that that moves us to consider the "Ah! This World," artwork series and observe the spiritual storm.
