This publication is produced on the occasion of solo exhibition of Taiwanese artist Charwei Tsai of the same title in TKG+, Taipei from September to October 2014.

'We Came Whirling of Nothingness examines the ways in which human perception of time and space is dependent on and parallels nature's underlying revolving and repeating circular and spiral forms. The works on display consider how these structures might inform us about natural occurrences in our universe, from the simplicity of a snail shell to the spectacle of the galaxy. Encompassing Charwei Tsai's exploration of Sufism, as well as Buddhist tradition, the exhibition highlights a transition in the artist's practice of applying the Buddhist concept of emptiness and interdependence to a universal concern with the environment.' - from introduction.

Including Charwei Tsai's CV and plates of her works.
