Daniel Lai

Lai is obsessed with the dichotomy of creating by destroying.  The Daoists believe that for one end of the spectrum to exist, the other end is essential.  There would be no light without dark, no good without evil, no yin without yang.  This creating-by-destroying dichotomy is very natural phenomenon on earth such as the destructive volcanic activity and flood giving rise to fertile soil which in turn brings out plentiful plants and fruits.
