「快樂」是相對的感覺，沒有不快樂，便難以感受到快樂。世界上有很多約定俗成，生日應該快樂、親人離世應該不快樂；去旅行應該快樂，返工應該不快樂。尋找快樂的人，首先要讓自己不快樂。「甚麼是快樂？」，心裡閃出來的回應：「不知道。」於是決定去不丹走一趟，去一個被喻為「最快樂的國家」尋找快樂，聽起來很合理。 「快樂」是一種感受，無色、無味、無形，該不會因為地理位置，而改變獲得更多或更少的快樂吧？快樂是自由自在，做喜歡的事，不被規範，也不被限制，自得其樂，享受獨處的片刻寧靜。在百份之一秒之間捕捉「快樂」，將它製成標本，延續快樂，分享快樂。快樂，沒有狂喜，也沒有悲傷，卻是平凡、淡然的。

Artistic Philosophy：Inspired by Zen philosophy and spiritual studies, Samantha’s creative process often incorporates meditation and intuitive guidance, transforming imagery into a multisensory experience. She captures “the eternity of a moment” through her lens to invite viewers into a self-healing ritual.
Community Engagement：Dedicated to promoting participatory art and spiritual healing, she regularly conducts mindfulness-based creative workshops. Advocating that “art is life,” she guides participants in reconnecting with their inner selves and self-awareness through artistic creation.
