Bernadette is the writer as well as the publisher
the name chosen for the publisher ( not a registered company ) has two
formats:
LEE-PISAPIA, Kam Fu Bernadette ( Hong Kong format), or LEE-PISAPIA Kam Fu Bernadette ( Italian format) . Therefore, the comma in between does not mean two distinct individuals as it is used to distinguish the last name and the first name in the Hong Kong format. For the other format, capital letter has been used to indicate the LAST NAME from the first name.
( from 06/09/2023, the Italain format is officially transformed to LEE Kam Fu Bernadette coniugata PISAPIA . However, the fully extended writing of my hyphenated Last Name is still maintained as my Canadian and Hong Kong identity : Kam Fu Bernadette LEE-PISAPIA)

some shadows cast by the bamboo
recollected as visual images
on the pure white canvas
pale brush works to trace the delicate shadows
of the bamboo planted outside my window
a beginning of a new search of reality
realities?
Or do realities exist?
an identical canvas
of the same size
a standard one - 50x70 cm
to visually trace
the magnolia outside my window
treating it as form
not as shadow
in and out of the space
a lost of trace is bound to happen
a solution is found after
by not looking anymore at the magnolia in reality
as the new reality
is recreated on canvas
a western approach
to balance form and color and space
with perhaps a hidden estern understanding:
richness of forms is equvialent to emptiness of shadows
shadows and forms
one shadow, one reality
many shadows, multiple realities
you thought perhaps shadows were unreal
yet they are traced without effort
on the bare canvas
as they seem to yield, without efforts
so they finally asume a reality much more substantial
as content
then there is the form
that looks tangible
measurable
traceable
yet such obvious visual realities
when truthfully traced and transported onto
your canvas
they look not as interesting ( as in reality )
at least not as real as the shadows of the bamboo traced
on the other canvas
what is real
what are realities then
one is traced
the other is a reinvention of a visual tracing
one is subtle, like breath
the other is loud, like a statement
but breath , in order to continue its course
needs form
the form, in order to outlive its sterile intrinsic self
needs breath
so the eastern mind
is sometimes in need of a body
yet when it gets too heavy
it needs to return to itself
to breathe once more
of the essence
in order
to
express in a form
that is tangible yet intangible
like every single reality in nature
when it is being grasped with force
it vanishes
Bernadette, after having lost one of the first experiments on the tracing of the shadows of the bamboo, wrote this reflection, hoping to begin a new series of works: shadows and forms in multi- manifestations
