I Know – The Burden

This painting is a critical probe into human ego and false certainty. The title I Know – The Burden refers to the weight we voluntarily take upon ourselves: believing we understand everything, speaking without evidence, and refusing to acknowledge our ignorance. This perceived "omniscience" does not set us free; instead, it weighs us down and keeps us grounded in a negative sense. The tangram figures here do not appear light, but rather rigid and cumbersome. The contrast between their sharp edges and the chaotic, colorfully restless background highlights the conflict between our inner illusion of truth and the real world we fail to verify.
