“Knockers” 門環- 91×71cm- Oil on Canvas, 1999

Knockers – Asian girl poses seductively near traditional temple doors; the lion shaped door knockers cover her own well shaped bosom. Unlike Western religions – sex and spirituality is often openly united with no conflict in Eastern culture. (During big events, temples show movies of strip dancers to the gods can enjoy themselves.)

門環－亞洲女子在傳統寺廟門前擺出性感的姿勢。獅頭外型的門環遮住了這女子勻稱的乳房。與西方宗教不同的是，在東方國家的文化裡，性與精神之間並無衝突，可相結合。（在一些大型公開活動中，寺廟會播放脫衣舞的影片，以取悅神明。）
