The blindfold can help me empty my mind and shut personal opinions out of my art,” said Tsoi. “When I work, I look at the world with only my inner eyes. So I can produce a work in the way that God produces Nature.” Patrick Dibuono, a 61-year-old actor, said he felt the emptiness and vastness at the moment when he closed his eyes and poured the color. “It’s the feeling of ‘let it go,’” he said.
