Moving silence - Nyein Way


Backward forward downward
Space Double space
Shaking trubling
Silenced motion in the echo of legged wheels

My Way - Nyein Way


Dreams with no home, no roots leading towards world peace
collaboration with layers of intellectual freedom
no war, only combination of diversified unity of peaceful art-making
humanity-focused roads to selfless plan
body machine for developing artistic consciousness
call for ways of making art on every day basis
tomorrow is always with wisdom and loving kindness
quantum mechanics of emerging humanities
identity/identities of combining diversities
world peace

Nyein Way

New balance for success - Nyein Way


timing and hard work
money recognition
self-confidence towards flourishment
living with uncertainty
put trust in your successful life style
visionary certainty

New Beginning But Old Deletion - Nyein Way


Dead leaves afraid of touching new things
Noby knows but butteries know
Flat pretentious siplomats of the the in paper fire glued with powered
dirts
Innovative fakes out of social diets on the table of tommorrow
Are you one of them?
Song of butterflies into the cave of deconstruction

Nyein Way

New life - Nyein Way


just turn the conceptual firm to some degrees(we are cultivating our dreams, aren't we?)
a light's shadow reflecting the light
lighter, lighter and lighter into the world of peace
on the coin of destiny
heads are still heads
and
tails are still tails
never say good bye when you
are building your new life
