The painting titled 'Where are we all going? II' captures a profound sense of Lyrical abstraction, blending bold, flowing forms with Abstract elements that evoke questions about existence and purpose. Drawing inspiration from the Japanese Buddhist concept of uJi — often translated as Being-Time — the artwork explores the intertwining of time and being, reminiscent of Dōgen's metaphysical ideas. Its ambiguous imagery invites viewers to consider impermanence and the fluid nature of reality, echoing modern interpretations that liken these themes to Heidegger's Being and Time.
